Taming Master
< (7). New Episode -1 >
A small seminar for the Kailan Planning Team.
The Planning Team's representative, Nazi Chan, was sitting on his chair, staring at the screen, stacked on a desk full of documents.
On the screen, there is a large footage of a new episode being broadcast across South Korea right now.
“Why don't we take a break and enjoy it? ”
Episode footage spanning 6 hours and 50 minutes beginning with the Royal Palace of Roosevelt.
Nazi Chan, who was directly involved in producing this video, knew more about the scale than anyone else.
‘I'm sure it'll be more glamorous and fun than any blockbuster. ’
Booth -
Najchan took out the potato chips that had been hidden in the drawer in the corner of the seminar room and put both eyes back on the screen.
I already knew that, but watching the video was another fun thing.
As the video progressed, Najchan couldn't help but admire the technical power of the development team.
‘Hiya... How are we supposed to pull out such a natural image with only artificial intelligence? ’
The footage that we're showing here in Kailan, it's a truly massive concentration of technology.
because it was completely different from all the filmmaking techniques that had ever been done before.
This video, which is being broadcast through game channels all over the country now, was the result of every object in Kailan moving around in its own AI.
Kailan's development team operated the two empires with little interference with the medium called the Trust, which led to this large-scale war.
Of course, the users did not proceed on the actual server being played.
In the virtual server, Kailan replicated the same environment of the Korean server and ran the simulation.
And during the twelve-hour large-scale update, we were working on introducing the results from the simulation to the actual server.
Simply put, all I did at LB to produce this video was edit the self-moving actors in the video.
even though it cost a lot of manpower and time.
‘The development team must be really struggling right now. ’
Najchan's head slightly turns to the side.
Familiar buildings that look beyond windows.
When Najchan looked at the building of the development team with the whole building lit up white, he smiled.
By sunrise tomorrow, the development team was unlikely to be able to leave work alone.
Aghhh!
I put potato chips in my elongated mouth and watched the video with a satisfied face.
But then...
An unknown murmur came out of Najchan's mouth.
“By the way, it's still going to take some time for Ian to appear. ”
A comment that would have raised a question mark full of eyes if Ian had listened!
However, Najchan grabbed one of the documents on the table with a look on his face.
“Let's check the updates that need to be posted in the morning until Ian comes out...? ”
Najchan murmured and began handing over one copy of the document, and separately from him, there was an ongoing episode on the screen.
* * *
“Oh, shit! Crazy!”
“Really? I never would have imagined this. ”
“Hey, Jinsung. What will happen to our guild now? This is the beginning of a war. ”
Has it been more than 30 minutes since the episode began?
Jinsung's living room was filled with excitement.
It was because the scale of the story in the video was getting bigger.
And now the reason they're so excited is nothing else.
Right now. Celius, the emperor of the Ruspel Empire, in the footage, has ordered all the lords of Ruspel to join forces.
Of course, the lands of Lotus, the largest guild in the Ruspel Empire, were no exception.
“I'm sure they're all watching this video right now, but shouldn't they be on the battlefield with NPCs? ”
In Harin's opinion, everyone nodded and accepted.
“Maybe, right? ”
“Hmmm... If that happens, won't the guilds lose money because of the episode progression? ”
Yoohyun smiled with an interesting face in the words of three members.
“Well, LB wouldn't do that if they had an idea. ”
“Well, that, too. ”
At that time, Jinsung suddenly opened his mouth, who had been watching only the video until now.
“Well…. But don't you guys find that strange? ”
Yoohyun reacted first.
“What's weird? What?”
“This video. The clock is ticking. It's only been 20 minutes, and it's been almost a month in there. ”
“Isn't that what you're supposed to do for the show? ”
I shake my head and open my mouth again as if my sincerity was stuffy.
“No, think about it. If these things are happening inside a server that's currently closed, then time has to pass just like in real time. ”
“Huh? By the way...? ”
“Of course, with LB tech, there might be a way. Let the server pass the time quickly.... But even so, if this was a live video, wouldn't it be able to be streamed right away because the video edits were so clean...? ”
“Yes. The truth is right. ”
Yoohyun's eyes slightly widened on the point of unintended sincerity, and so did others.
And in the video, it was even more shocking, as if he had waited for his point.) something was happening.
“Huh? Wait! That face...! Aren't you Fioran?”
“Huh? Really! Right?"
“Gosh, what's Fioran doing out there? ”
He stared blankly at the video.
Fioran was the Lord of the Pyro territory and the ‘Duke' of the Ruspel Empire, taking orders from Emperor Selius.
It seemed to be taking orders on behalf of the nobles of the Central Continent.
Because Piro territory is the largest and most powerful of the territories of the Ruspel Empire, she has become a representative.
Immediately, the emperor Celius, who had given all orders, raised his sword and declared war, and the screen changed again.
This time it was a battlefield to the north, full of white snow.
But the amazing thing didn't end there.
It was because a familiar face appeared on the TV screen.
* * *
A golden spear with a bright yellow current.
A man dressed in a golden helmet and a fine lightweight armor.
He hops on the back of a large black dragon, swinging a golden spear and leaping out of the air.
Blame-!
At the same time, a breath of Borat light emanates from the dragon's mouth.
Khhhhh!
Dragon Breeze of immense power pouring into the battlefield!
Then, on top of it, the man with the golden spear falls down.
Kwajijik-!
A man's golden spear pierces through the knight in the red armor riding his horse.
And on top of that, yellow light flashes and lightning falls.
Kwa-nung - Kwam-!
He quickly defeats the knight, reaching for the fallen white horse and pulling him up into the air.
Then, with the gesture of his hand, the body of a dead white horse slowly stood up.
And with it, the white horse's hide begins to turn black.
A man boards on top of a black horse with bony wings.
“I've defeated the captain! Charge!! ”
His voice echoes across the vast battlefield!
The soldiers of the Ruspel Empire are going crazy.
“Wow!! Reinforcements!!"
“Grand Duke Ian himself! ”
“Eliminate the enemy! As long as the Grand Duke comes, we will not lose!! ”
Hundreds of horsemen flocking to Lotus' flag.
And two dragons and dozens of Wyvern Knights, flying through the air, trampling their enemies.
Finally, a golden armored man aboard Hargassus begins to tear the Northern battlefield apart.
The screen that shows the entire battlefield from a distance is getting closer and closer to the man in golden armor.
And finally, the back view of the man swinging his spear through the battlefield was full of screens.
Behind him bursting with absolute majesty.
But it didn't end there.
Immediately, the angle of the camera rotates rapidly, and the man's face begins to zoom in from the front.
The man's deep, black eyes glow from the inside of the golden helmet.
A man whose appearance was largely concealed and not visible in detail, but very famous for his own appearance.
Ian.
His face was full of screens.
* * *
He's here, everyone!
- Grrrgh! Here's another chicken!
- Why would a lunatic want chicken from his own mother?
- Holy shit. Is that Ian AI?
- Maybe. It looks like all the users are now AI enabled and moving around on their own.
- Yeah, Ian's really good at fighting AI.
- Yeah, I know. Does this have something to do with AI's ability to control ownership?
- Well, I don't know about that, but I think it's because Ian's character is too strong....
- Haa, I'm a member of the Kaimon Empire. My character just got punched by Ian and went to the goal. Come on, guys.
- Was he in the Northern Territories?
- Yes... Chop, chop.
- You died in Ian's spear...! I envy you…!
- No, blah blah blah blah He's dead blah blah I envy him blah blah blah
- Crazy! blah blah blah By the way, what happens if the character AI dies in a fight like Upper Man? You're not gonna drop the temp and get a death penalty?
- Oh, come on.
There were many people watching episodes on TV, but just as many users were watching videos on the internet.
If you watch videos in real time while chatting with thousands of online netizens, the fun has multiplied.
And as always, as soon as Ian showed up, the chat window was flooding.
- Wow, this is a popcorn angle. I was expecting something to play during server maintenance.
By the way, do you guys have Ian Fardoll in the planning team for LB? No, it's not Ian Madmoby's video. As soon as the war starts, he freaks out.
And the first one that appeared was actually Shakran? You were out talking to him for a while.
- He did, did he?
- Like five seconds in the back of a scared little...?
- My sister Fioran is here. Don't ignore her.
After Ian's northern continent battle footage was reflected for about three minutes, the screen continued to change.
Images of battlefields all over the continent.
And there's a rare ranker action.
Watching the video was refreshing.
The well-qualified users turn on the lights and focus on the screen for even one second, and some users shout for joy when their favorite ranker appears.
New Episode video full of spectacular puzzles.
But nevertheless, the most exciting was the main story.
Numerous fighters from each empire emerge, drawing up strategies and engaging in siege wars, creating numerous conflicts.
And in those stories, information about the new worldview is hidden everywhere.
There is information about quests, information about artifacts, and information about hidden dungeons and name monsters.
New Episode Open video with a massive running time of over six hours.
However, many users who loved Kailan could not take their eyes off the screen for a single moment.
