Unlike New World or competition practice servers, capsule test spaces were empty spaces.
-Oh, can you hear me?
"Yes, I can hear you."
Jae-ho replied to the voice from the air.
-Okay, there are three main tests you're going to do here. Synchronization test, reactivity test, stability test.
"What should I do?”
-We're going to run the synchro test first. There will be an avatar with random poses in the front. Hwang Jae-ho, please look at the pose and move it as close as possible. Let's get started.
beep-
an expressionless avatar appearing with a beep
It started with simple movements, such as opening or saluting both arms, and even dancing-like behavior.
Jae-ho tried to hide his embarrassment and copied the moves, but he wondered if such strange behavior was really a test.
However, precise data was being printed on monitors outside the capsule.
The purpose of this test is to determine how accurately the user perceives the data.
In fact, the results showed that Jae-ho's movements were slightly different from the actual avatar movements.
-Okay. Next is the responsiveness test. Circular targets will appear from all sides, and Hwang Jae-ho can smash them as quickly as possible.
'This is more intuitive.’
Jae-ho began to search for and destroy the targets that appeared one by one, without any notice of distance or direction.
"Wow, that's Hwang Jae-ho. It's really fast.”
Mansu nodded at the researcher who was conducting the test.
"Even with the lowest capsule performance, we'll have no choice but to fly around in the competition."
"This really looks like a good one."
The test results made by a physical genius named Hwang Jae-ho were rare and nowhere to be found.
The results from today's test will greatly help improve the performance of premium capsules.
-Well, we're going to do a final stability test. It's to see how well the capsule can perform in various environments and situations that can happen in the game.
Although capsules rarely turn off due to overload, subtle performance degradation often occurred.
The stability test was just to confirm that, and the surrounding environment soon turned into a battlefield where thousands of soldiers were fighting.
Hwang Jae-ho is not recognized at all, so you can move lightly.
"Oh, yes."
At the words, Jae-ho began to walk slowly around, as if he were going out.
-Next is the stormy sea.
The background changed and Jae-ho moved onto the ship, which was shaking to the point of turning over.
-Next... ...
After several changes in the background, the test was over.
-This is the test of the first capsule.
"It's simpler than I thought?"
a test that took only about ten minutes
-Haha, isn't it? The program keeps a record of everything you need anyway. Would you like to continue?
"Yes, I will."
Jaeho then tested a total of 15 capsules in succession.
* * *
As a result of Jae-ho's own use of the supply line-up, top-class products, and what is under development, the researchers found shocking facts.
"The criteria we shared...... that's a little different."
Mansu said with a look that was hard to believe.
"It's a mid-range line-up, but sometimes it's better than the best."
"Hmm? Wasn't it before?"
"Yes, and overall, there's a big margin of error with our internal results."
"Didn't the test go wrong?"
Mansu shook his head.
"I don't think so. It's probably the difference in users' abilities. Well, that's great. The goal of this project is to develop a top-notch capsule that is nowhere else in the world, right? Then the best player should be the best player."
In particular, Jae-ho's concentration and physical strength were all the more objective because there was no distraction throughout the test of 15 capsules.
"I think that's enough for today. We need to analyze today's results and start a new program."
"So I have nothing else to do?”
"Yes. From now on, Hwang Jae-ho only needs to test it like this."
Compared to a plausible start, Jae-ho had nothing to do.
'Great. That's enough.’
But Jae-ho didn't know.
Mansu wanted to call Jae-ho every day, but Han-dol ordered him not to bother him.
* * *
When I came back and logged in to the game, interesting news was waiting for Jae-ho.
"He set a new record for forced labor!"
At May's words, Jae-ho tilted his head.
"How on earth are you talking grandly about a new record?”
The previous record was 1320 days set by Peace and Love.
No, in fact, it's been added at this moment and every day has been a record breaking.
In other words, the new record didn't mean much.
"The new guy has been shooting 2,000 days.”
“?”
What have you done for 2,000 days?….
"Wait a minute. Don't tell me...….”
For a moment, the characters that pass through Jae-ho's.
"Triple Chain Guild?”
"Yes, that's right. There's an old man named House. I heard you used to curse like that. And Ismiru missed the record by a day.”
But the record was anything that could be broken.
Living legends who are now writing a new history of forced labor.
The two major mountains of the flagship guild.
Peace and Love and Triple Chain!
"......well, one day he'll come to his senses and put down his pride.”
Jae-ho decided not to care anymore.
"Then shall I go get some warm-up?"
Jae-ho, who planned to use the fight against the elves to grow the item during the last game.
[Class: Legend]
[Attack: 720]
[A battle knuckle used by Malkant, who wandered around the West to perform in his youth.
The knuckle, tempered in many long battles, will become stronger and stronger with the user.]
[ : Attack power increases by 0.1 each time you win a duel.]
[ : Powerful regime mounts a range attack on the enemy in the rear who is not the target of attack.]
Items that become stronger through duel.
However, this duel did not apply just to fight against anyone.
A showdown in which each other is systemically agreed, not field PVP.
I was going to see if it could be achieved through training with the elves.
* * *
"Huh? You guys were there, too?”
Going to the training ground, Samantha, Red, and Dakist were already rolling around the floor.
"Oh, Alsia."
"What is it? What are you doing here?”
"I've got a little experiment to do. But why are you guys here? Weren't you off today?”
Ilsung Flower, which is undergoing individual training for individual quests and levelling.
Today was certainly not a set training day.
"Ah... ...that's...….”
Samantha scratched her head with an awkward expression.
Team members who played three games on the second day of the league without Jae-ho.
And how big that vacancy is......I had felt keenly how weak they were against Jae-ho.
In terms of individual history, they're above the average of the competition, but...... Nevertheless, I kept thinking of dragging Jae-ho's feet.
So I was being trained by elves, except for my personal schedule.
"Ay... ...what are you......... Ham Wan-sik was a pack in the first place. It's just a scarecrow, isn't it?
“…….”
The team was silent at Jae-ho's ungrateful cry.
It was fortunate that the finished meal was not here.
"But still...... if Alsia had been here, wouldn't she have won even if she had finished?"
"Ay, you can't tell. Anyway, that's great. Now that you've come to this, can you help me out for training?”
Before testing with the elves, Jae-ho wanted to apply for a duel with his teammates.
The first attempt was intentional match-fixing.
After filing for a duel, the opponent was deliberately defeated.
[I challenge you to a duel.]
[The opponent has accepted the duel.]
[The opponent abstained.]
I tried to manipulate it right away, and I could get the results right away.
[Unusual duel.]
[Notoriety rises.]
[The conditions for [ were not met].
"That's not working."
"Then shall we fight it out?”
"I think I should.”
"Okay. So...….”
[I challenge you to a duel.]
“?”
“??”
Samantha and Dakist simultaneously questioned Jae-ho.
However, the meaning of the expression was clearly different.
"What does this mean?"
"Huh? It doesn't mean much."
"But why did you suddenly turn your opponent into me? Right after you said you were going to fight.”
"No, 'cause I don't think we can fight seriously. I've never fought with Samantha or Red."
But the Darkest was different.
Aren't they fighting to kill each other in the first and second meetings?
"So there's no pressure to kill......... is that meaningless?!”
"Well, isn't a formal duel not gonna kill each other anyway?”
Duel between players automatically ends when they run out of stamina or surrender, and all their debuff or exhausted stamina has also been restored.
"No! I feel bad, I feel!!”
[The opponent has accepted the duel.]
He was a dakist who said so but did not reject it in action.
"I really bite my teeth? Don't you want to lose?"
"Okay. Then we start?"
And five minutes later.
"That's right! Get hit! Why doesn't it fit!!!”
Dakist reenacted the same scene in the third match, following the first and second.
[Victory won!]
Jae-ho eventually won, but...….
[The conditions for [ were not met].
It failed again this time.
"What is it? Are you serious about not fighting?"
"What, what?! Who are you kidding!"
Jae-ho's words made the dakist cry.
It was natural for him to get angry when he said such a thing even though he saw himself rushing in with tears.
"Hmmm... ...by the way, why not? Do you need any other conditions?"
Then, we have only one partner to check out.
It was the elves.
* * *
The elves gladly accepted Jae-ho's request for a duel.
['s accepted the duel.]
NPCs are not systemically agreed like players, but rather are verbally dueled.
The other thing is, if the NPC changes its mind, it could really die.
And there was no recovery even if the duel ended.
"Then I'll go! Alsia!"
At Damus' cry, Jae-ho nodded nervously.
I've known for a long time that the elves won't let Jaeho get away with it.
Two boom-!!
The Elf's powerful punch was fired at Jae-ho's philtrum.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of an explosion wasn't from Jae-ho's fit.
The sonic boom that bursts as Damus' punch ripped the air!
"......no, does that make sense?”
"Well, it's true that the Elves have been watching us and dealing with us?"
To the question of the Darkist, Red said, as if it were natural.
"No, I know that. What I'm saying is, does that monster bastard who avoids all that attack make no sense!
Flip-Flick-
Jae-ho dodging the Elves' attack with minimal upper body movement!
The wonderful move shocked not only the team, but also everyone on the lookout.
I could see at once why Jae-ho was overwhelmingly strong in the competition.
"As expected of Alsia! What a move!"
Despite Damus' praise, Jae-ho couldn't say anything.
Powerful attacks that can lie down in one shot at the moment of a slip.
When dealing with players or Jae-ho can take advantage of his physical strength, it was impossible to deal with elves.
If you're less than 200, you'll be shocked at once.
Avoiding the attacks, Jae-ho continued to look at the timing of the counterattack.
'It's so fast that I can't see the right timing.... huh?
Suddenly, Jae-ho realized a problem.
[ : Attack power increases by 0.1 each time you win a duel.]
It's an option that's supposed to win.….
How can I beat this?’
I realized it late.
