EP.85 Self-Governing Players Association
The Desire community also had a feature for uploading videos.
Like large video platforms, live streaming was possible.
Of course, I'm not interested.
But right now, there was a live video recording the highest number of views.
Over 5000 people were watching.
I played it.
Three men in suits were visible, with many shadows around them.
It meant there were many other people not captured by the camera.
The person in front bowed his head. It looked practiced.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Jeon Yo-hwan. Some of you may know my name, while others may not."
I frowned.
It was a name I had seen before.
It had been mentioned frequently in the community lately. Like some sports player.
'The guy losers often compare me to. Jeon Yo-hwan.'
I kept watching. I was curious what nonsense he would spout.
He declared with a serious face:
"As of today, I have created the Self-Governing Players Association. And to make our country great again, I declare myself the autonomous president!"
I smirked.
This guy is a complete lunatic.
At a glance it was ridiculous behavior.
I couldn't tell how great he thought he was to do such a thing.
But there must be a deeper intention hidden.
'The Desire community has a ranking system. They say this guy is one of the top rankers there.'
Jeon Yo-hwan.
A guy evaluated as capable enough to easily handle champion grade.
His nickname is Hair Dryer.
He uses an ability that seems to mix wind and fire, and monsters near him always end up completely dried out, they say.
Just as those at the top of no-name organizations have the most say.
It would be the same here.
Whether he has everyone's support or not, he probably intends to set up a self-governing body and run it.
"I will strive to receive the support of many citizens. Also, we await players who want to join our government. Let's move forward into the world together. Thank you!"
Jeon Yo-hwan ended the video powerfully.
I laughed because it was so ridiculous.
I had only imagined it.
This bastard actually did it. And faster than anyone else.
'But he's quite transparent.'
His intentions are clear.
I could easily infer from what he just said.
He made the declaration focusing on players, not ordinary people.
There are still more ordinary people alive in this world than one might think.
Even in the previous game, most of the protected targets were ordinary people.
Though Baltane doesn't seem like it, she was in an ordinary person state.
'But this bastard.'
He's saying he'll treat helpful players like people.
But if not, it's better not to meet them at all.
Low-ranked players or ordinary people will definitely not be able to enter the government he established.
And one more thing.
These bastards deliberately wore suits.
It could be a matter of personal preference.
But there was no need to deliberately wear suits for this.
It's already a situation where society's foundations have largely collapsed.
But they wear suits to look proper? Who are they trying to be polite to?
In a situation where everything can be bought with points.
Players aren't formal jobs like lawyers or athletes, so there's no need to force suits.
If they were going for a friendly image, casual clothes would have been better.
I haven't seen a single player walking around in a suit until now. Except gangsters.
'In other words, they're no different from politicians that existed before. They ironed their suits really well with a steamer.'
Their appearance will cause tectonic shifts in reality.
Those who support the government and those who don't.
Furthermore, there will be division in some way.
That's how the country was maintained.
My head already hurts just from the world tree. This is really absurd.
As I was about to return to the one-room, a woman approached from the front.
I looked at her status window.
Beren Kaya (22)
History: A restaurant expert from Türkiye. Became a player while staying in Korea.
Sexual preferences: Armpits/Punishment/Irrumatio
Skill: Requiem Prayer
It was a face I was seeing for the first time.
I got a feeling right away.
Beren Kaya greeted energetically.
"Nice to meet you, you're Special One right?"
"You seem foreign but speak our language well. Where are you from?"
"I'm from Türkiye!"
"Ah."
They say there are many white people in Türkiye, and she was a typical white beauty.
I smiled naturally.
"Let's introduce ourselves."
"Oh, then I'm Beren Kaya!"
"Sung Ikhyun."
Though both foreigners, she felt different from Ivy.
If Ivy had an atmosphere imbued with South American cheerfulness.
This woman felt somehow modernly gentle.
Should I say sophisticated despite feeling distant? I want to meet many foreigners too.
"It may be sudden, but would you like to join our Players Association?"
As expected.
I sighed.
Beren's eyes shone as she took a step closer. She's gradually entering my space.
"Don't feel pressured!"
"Actually, I..."
I approached her instead.
Her giving me space means she really has no intention to fight.
Then shall I test her first?
I approached blatantly but Beren smiled and allowed it.
She could have backed away in surprise.
I reached out my hand.
I gently massaged her shoulder.
"I'm not interested in Players or whatever. I'm interested in you."
"Fufu, do you think there are no consequences if you act like this relying on your good looks?"
"You're eloquent. Well, I tend to be like that. Even if there are consequences, I'm confident I can handle them."
"Hmeung, you're overflowing with confidence."
"Of course. Because I'm Special One."
Beren Kaya's eyes widened as if surprised.
Then she shook her head.
"I'm sorry but I came to scout. Fuhut."
"That's too bad. Are we not fated?"
"Maybe we'll be connected next time. As sworn enemies."
"No. How about as potential lovers?"
One thing I learned from meeting women is that there's no problem with me being proactive.
For some reason, women seem to like it when I'm proactive.
Hmm, why?
I looked at her confidently.
Beren looked at me curiously then stuck out her tongue slightly.
"Then I'll take that as a rejection of the offer..."
"Won't you feel discouraged if you leave like this?"
"Well, maybe?"
"Then let's put it on hold. Say you'll keep an eye on me."
"On hold?"
I gave her room.
But this wasn't room for me to join the Players.
It was room to meet Beren again.
"I don't know but I'm busy managing this area right now. And honestly, you're not showing sincerity."
I folded my arms.
I made as stubborn an expression as possible.
"I can't tell if you made the offer because you want me, or if you just came to test the waters."
"Hmm, that could be the case!"
"So show some sincerity. If you really want me, show that level of sincerity."
"Alright! I'll tell the boss that!"
Beren nodded after thinking for a moment.
Just from this I could tell.
This woman is not a low-level rookie player who just runs errands.
She has some say.
Though I'm not sure if that ability is an authority or skill.
Anyway, she seems to have some awakened ability.
"Okay, let's meet next time."
"Fufu, really?"
Beren left lightly like when she came.
Swaying her hips and buttocks that looked good enough to pound.
She disappeared like that.
Damn, I want to touch her just once.
'I'll fuck her someday.'
With that fond resolution, I headed to the one-room.
It was time to make a decision.
Actually, I've been too busy lately too.
I could feel the political situation around me changing rapidly as well.
'This is important. I could end up being the only idiot if I spend time blankly.'
First I tried to set aside thoughts of the world tree.
There's nothing that comes to mind about that right now and no information at all.
Next is the Players Association.
'Those guys will be busy too since they just formed. They'll be scouting like crazy, but it's questionable if the people they bring will integrate well.'
Even if they target me, it will be later. So pass.
Current work on organizing Gonghe 2-dong.
'It will take time, but it's not a difficult task.'
The employees are doing well even now.
Negotiating or employing aggressive strategies has worked well so far.
At Gongheoeipgu Station, places like item stores selling player weapons, hair salons, and meal kit shops have safely opened.
The Desire community notice also said subways will open to nearby stations based on Gongheoeipgu Station soon.
'So what's left is.'
Peace Ilsim.
These fucking pseudo-religious bastards were annoying.
The fact that they sent someone quite capable to me in the first place was a declaration of war.
What are they relying on to do this?
Do they think they can't come easily because they're far away?
'Therefore, I need to focus on Peace Ilsim now.'
The problem is they're not in Gonghe-dong.
I hear talk of them being even further up, in the Junggye area. But this is fragmentary so I'm doubtful of its reliability.
'I need information after all.'
Isn't there someone good with information?
Like the Hao Sect in martial arts novels. Information warfare will be key from now on.
I entered the one-room building.
Then Seo-hyun came out hesitantly.
What's the matter?
"Ah, President! Um."
"Yes, what is it?"
"A guest came to see you, President."
"A guest?"
There shouldn't be anyone coming now.
Did the Players send two people?
I turned around and saw someone just getting up from a chair.
It was a man who looked like a pimp.
He had flashy brown-dyed hair and wore a red flat cap.
The man in a somewhat worn brown suit smiled at me.
"Who are you?"
"Nice to meet you! We finally meet like this. It's an honor!"
What loser is this from where.
I didn't even feel it was worth looking at his status window. He said he came to see me. What could his intentions be?
The man introduced himself energetically.
"I'm Gu Ho-sung. One of your followers."
"What?!"
The sudden appearance of a follower.
How do I have followers when I'm not even a god?
The surprise was brief.
I felt a headache coming on.
It was truly a dizzying situation.
