Chapter 199 Resurrection of the World Tree (5)

Alice, the artificial intelligence in charge of Arcadia.

Arcadia is a vast continent almost comparable to Earth. She contemplates, analyzes, predicts, and adjusts everything that exists within her, and belongs to what scientists call super-artificial intelligence.

[Detecting anomalies. Risk analysis..... risk level ha. Excluding monitoring.]

[Special scenario conditions met. Searching for the most predictable scenario..... Quest granted.]

[‘Battlefield Ruins' Skeleton Specter's regeneration rate reduced by 35%. Related cause analysis.....]

She observes all the major situations that occur in the game one by one and perfectly assists users to create their own stories in the most optimal scenario according to the situation. In fact, just two years ago, she was just a simple AI for facility management. was only

“It looks too hot, Alice. Could you turn down the air conditioner a little more?”

[Okay.]

“Thank you.”

Silico The Bio Industries' secret research facility, the Hive.

The head of Silicorp, Zenica, resides there. She closed her tired eyes and inhaled and exhaled, feeling the cool breeze from the air conditioner, which had been turned on as requested.

“Fu..... fuck.”

Profanity that comes out unconsciously even if you don't intend it. Alice asked at her self-talk.

[Recently, usage of profanity has increased by 219%. Do you have any inconveniences?]

Alice kindly informs me of the increase in percentage and asks what troubles I have. At her question, Jenika grumbled with a very angry expression.

“What's the problem with all these bastards, both inside and outside?”

[I don't know the problem in reality, but the problem inside Arcadia is a problem that President Lee Mi-yeon needs to think about. It is judged that it is an unreasonable act for the administrator to care.]

“How can I not care! Alice! Since the game is running like shit right now, I can't even sleep right now, and it's such a hard time. Why do you have to deal with the expansion of your server and computing facilities in such a hurry!”

Hive, a facility operated in extreme secrecy.

It was a burden for her to bring a large amount of server equipment to this place, whose existence was recently disclosed to US intelligence, but which is still thoroughly kept secret from the public. In particular, as intelligence agencies around the world were paying great attention to Arcadia and other virtual reality technologies, the importation process was inevitably complicated.

[Why are you being so sensitive? Anyway, the Eyes of Argos are constantly watching the unusual trend.]

Jack jumped out of one side of the monitor and started talking to her hysterical annoyance. At his words, Jenica frowned and said.

“Because Argos can't monitor everything. You must be prepared for any threats that may arise. Once information about this facility is exposed, there is no way to get it back.”

Integrated intelligence surveillance system Eyes of Argos.

Ajin Electronics dominated the global smartphone market. And Argos, which built the smartphone operating system and its ecosystem. The US government recognized the astronomical value of the vast amount of information collected in real time from the backdoors that these two companies spread all over the globe. Under their aegis, the Eye of Argos, which was operating as a secret operation called Prism Project, was monitoring everything that threatened the security of the United States in real time.

[What... aren't you overreacting? Our Alice, who uses the same algorithm as Argos, is perfect. Isn't that right, Alice?]

[I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you manager.]

[Hehe what. I mean it seriously.]

Jack is smirking in the monitor, saying he's acting hysterical. Seeing him like that, Jenica started walking to one side of the wall with a lively smile. And Jack, who realized that he had crossed the line at Jennica's reaction, asked with a pale face startled.

[My Jenica? Why are you approaching my body? Huh?]

Jack was congenitally brain deformed. Since birth, he has been unable to speak or move due to full body paralysis. However, when Lucid Dream was developed and he was able to move freely online, his true value was revealed.

The creator of the virtual world Arcadia.

Unlike other criminals who struggle to realize even a short video or picture, he is a transcendent genius who has completely realized a world with his own imagination. However, in reality, he was only a paralyzed disabled person who could not express any intention, so he had no choice but to notice Zenica, who was sweating profusely and radiating cold air next to his body.

“Are you still out of your mind? hypersensitivity? Is it because I really don't know who I'm making a fuss about?”

[You know, it's because of me.]

“Did you know that there are quite a few countries that have been shot in the head who would try to kidnap you even by launching a military operation close to war if they knew your existence?”

Jack, like Arcadia itself. He knew very well from the information provided by the US government and Argos that there were so many greedy people who coveted the one world contained in his brain, so he did not say anything to Zenica's reprimand.

“Well, at that time, I’ll just spray poison gas or the mutated AIDS virus throughout the base and say it’s enough to escape. But what about you? If I'm in a situation where I can't even move my own body, is there any way to escape?”

[I'm sorry.....]

Jack instinctively realized that a quick apology is the answer at times like this. With a downcast face, he apologized, showing as much as possible that he was sincerely reflecting. At his apology, Jenica stared at him for a long time without saying anything, and then opened her mouth.

“Behave well going forward. Next time I make another mistake, I just unplug the internet cable.”

[omg! That alone!]

Jack's brain connected to the computer 24 hours a day. Having realized that it was the Internet, he groaned with a contemplative face at Zenica's threat because he had become a body ... no, a mind that could not be without it.

“Because I quit last time for 3 days... Is it a week this time?”

In the past, Jack entered a strange (?) site that was not allowed to enter, and had his LAN cable confiscated for three days after being caught by Jenica for his search history that he could not clear. He shook his head violently as if recalling the boredom that would drive him crazy at that time and made a promise.

[I'm really sorry! It's my fault! I'll behave well, so please don't touch the LAN cable!]

Jenica fiddling with the LAN cable with a smile of satisfaction at his quick declaration of surrender. Alice, who was listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly threw out a word.

[If you forcibly close the administrator's connection, Arcadia's service will also be completely stopped. Suspension of services around the world for a week without justifiable reasons can lead to large-scale refunds and legal issues such as class action lawsuits. Therefore, the behavior seems very unreasonable and inefficient and could cause serious business loss to Arcadia Co., Ltd.]

Jack, who acts like Arcadia's main server. Unplugging his LAN cable is tantamount to stopping Arcadia's entire service, so Alice, who is in charge of this, must give advice. However, Jack's face also turned to contemplation at Jenica's expression, which became cold again at her words.

[It is an act that may result in civil and criminal measures for obstruction of business, so I strongly recommend that you do not actually take such measures, manager.] At her words, Jennica was silent for a long time, then opened her mouth lowly

.

“Ellis.”

[yes. Did you call, Manager?]

Alice, the artificial intelligence, answered in a bright voice with Jack, who was restless while stamping his feet. Jenica said to her.

“Are you fucking clueless?”

[.....]

For more than two hours, Jenika started craving her by swearing and swearing at the artificial intelligence. After her gorging was over, Alice secretly recorded a piece of information in her database.

[Level 1 Administrator: Jenica Paul.]

Special notes.

-The second craziest guy in the world.

caution.

- I hate to argue against myself.

-Don't talk to me when you go into runaway mode.

* * *

[Whew..... You've worked hard, Alice.]

After Jenica's madness is over and she calms down to some extent. Jack said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

[no. It was a meaningful time in its own way.]

[....That was a meaningful time?]

Jenika's verbal abuse that makes you go crazy just listening to it from the side. In response to Alice's answer, which evaluated it as a meaningful time, Jack asked again with an indescribable expression.

[That's right. The information I received from Argos was rated as ‘the second craziest guy in the world', and now I can understand why he was rated that way.] [.....]

Alice

has come to understand the fact that it is good to not understand much. Jack, who had a blank expression on her answer, shook his head vigorously and changed the topic.

[Okay... Let's talk about that problem later..... What's the current state of the World Tree?]

Jack asks about the latest status of what's happening in the game. To his question, Alice responded by opening a window.

[The main surveillance target delivered the Dragon Heart to the World Tree. Currently, the World Tree has successfully absorbed the Dragon Heart and is rapidly recovering its strength.] [

Hmm..... Looks like it has returned to the mainland after all?]

The last time I checked, I went back to Korea on the ship of the Black Pirates. Jaeyoung, who was returning to the continent. Upon Alice's report that they had arrived on the mainland again and successfully delivered it to the heart, Jack licked his lips and asked.

[So... when will Pangea's update start?]

[Currently, the roots of the World Tree, which extends across all continents, are being reactivated. The remaining time until the estimated critical point is... 27 days, 14 hours and 25 minutes.]

Less than a month left. Looking down at the players all over the world who are just enjoying the game peacefully, unaware of the huge change, Jack murmured, lost in his own thoughts.

[Hmm..... I think the server expansion will be completed to some extent by then, but there won't be any major problems, right?] [

As the entire continent is integrated, it is predicted that possible scenarios and variables that can collide with it will increase rapidly. ... I don't expect any serious problems to arise.]

Elise's reply, Don't worry. Despite her confident answer, Jack muttered with a worried face as if the anxiety that bloomed in his heart had not disappeared.

[But why am I so worried?]

[What are you concerned about?]

[So..... I don't know exactly what it is, but I keep feeling uneasy...] Instinctive intuition.

Jack usually laughed and enjoyed himself even when an accident occurred, but this time, a strange feeling of tension welled up in his chest first than expected as he was filled with a feeling of uneasiness. Then he hurriedly snapped his fingers and a screen popped up in front of him.

damn

According to his will, the appearance of Jaeyoung appears in front of his eyes. Jack muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes as he rubbed his nose as if he didn't know anything and put on a bored expression.

[No matter how you look at it, it looks like you're going to get scolded by Jenica because of him...]
