- So this was happening in the US? Hahahahaha!
- Wow, seriously, I’m so jealous as hell hahahahahaha!
- Seriously, how much does it cost to go there? Like ten million won????
- The round-trip plane ticket alone must cost at least 400,000.
- Fact: If you go there and attend the Final Championship solo, the accommodation will cost at least 4 million won.
- Minimum ten million won? Ugh, no way I can do that;;
- People who go to watch the tournament are rich, hahahaha.
- I mean, MechaBiyam hahahahahaha!
- That shining purple one, could it be the third one? What the heck?????
- Yeah, that’s right.
- Insane, seriously insane hahahahahaha!
- Ah, I still haven’t cleared the destruction difficulty, this is frustrating hahahaha.
- Huh~ weak? virgin? can’t even get MechaBiyam?
- This fucking bastard for real.
- Ugh… I’m done.
- Stop with the bullshit hahahahahaha!
- Are there still weaklings who haven’t cleared the destruction difficulty? Hahahaha.
- The wannabe sage #6316-521-697521 tried more than 20 times yesterday and still couldn’t clear it?
- Damn, how the hell did you find that ID, you son of a bitch!
- Fucking idiot hahahahaha.
- So, what kind of coupon is it???
- [Author] I still don’t know. I asked them, but they won’t tell me.
- Hurry and go back to the hotel and log in, you fucking bastard!!!!
- Aren’t all the coupons handed out at offline events like special costumes or execution motions and gun skins? I think it’ll be the same this time.
- Is it a MechaBiyam costume change token or something?
- Wow.
Why doesn’t Tera do this? Isn’t it the same Icarus game? So frustrating!
- Tesserlam capture.
- 15,299th season Tesserlam head stitching, wwww.
- The game where you put money on swords to make them stronger, welcome hahaha.
- Fact: The money made from Tera is being dumped into Dark Zone.
- Damn you bastards!!!!!!
- Who does the profanity censorship like that hahahahahaha!
But seriously, what’s Tera doing? Is it Disney World or something?
- Fact: They’re doing it all wrong, hahahaha. They probably gave up on trying to balance PVP.
- There are no tournaments, so how are they trying to attract viewers? Hahahaha.
- Now that I think about it, don’t they have something like the World Champion Decision Battle?
- I don’t care hahahaha.
“That situation over there is a mess...”
“And we’re probably here to make it even messier.”
“Correct.”
- These crazy people hahahahahaha! - Sudden fan meeting hahahahahaha! - Damn it, I’m going to work part-time next year and follow the finals… - Haven’t done anything, but viewers are getting motivated hahaha. - These people are openly saying they’re here to stir things up hahahahaha!
There were a lot of people.
And I mean a lot.
Of course, a large crowd causes commotion, and commotion brings even more people. By the time I went outside with my acquaintances—though I originally planned to go alone, but these people weren’t the type to stay quietly in a room—the crowd had grown to twice the size from the last time I saw it.
Moreover, this was all created by MechaBiyam... well, forget the details. Anyway, once the game ended, Shark would also come running out of the hotel and enjoy the crowd.
Until yesterday, I had just arrived here, so I hadn’t explored much, but today it seemed I could have a better tour of the surroundings.
So, the first destination for today was the goods shop.
“You’re really aiming to blow up the store, huh, kiddo.”
“I don’t think it’ll get that intense. Besides, I heard the goods shop is huge. It’s supposed to be several times bigger than a soccer field.”
“I’m more curious about what they’re selling in such a giant store, man.”
“Hmm...”
Rustle.
I’m not sure if I should call it fortunate, but to clarify what I said earlier about there being a lot of people, the crowd gathered near the MechaBiyam sisters, not near us. We hadn’t even joined that side.
I quickly took out the pamphlet that had been wrapped around my tail to check if there was any information about the goods shop—about half of it was a gun store, and right next to it was a top-notch shooting range where you could enjoy shooting and stuff.
...Oh right, this is an FPS game.
Of course, the goods shop and the gun store were completely separate, and most of the items sold in the former were really ordinary things—like T-shirts, stickers, figurines, airsoft guns, notebooks, pens, mugs, ties, and cushions.
But “most” doesn’t mean “all,” and when I was about to check the full list, the crowd around us started gathering.
Among them, there were even the Triple MechaBiyams, who had lost half of their 300 tickets in less than 2 hours.
“Master—!”
“Shh, Rain. The archetype is shopping right now. There’s a saying in my country: ‘Don’t bother anyone while they’re shopping.’”
“What the hell are you talking about, as soon as we get here?”
- Don’t bother anyone while they’re shopping, what’s that about? hahahahahaha - It’s clear who’s the weird one here hahahaha - Wow, look at the size of the goods shop hahahaha - I thought it would be thrown together, but it’s actually quite well-decorated?? - Living point) Most of the items sold there, except for some, are available for overseas shipping.
It was strange how they picked up these odd things.
When the 200-strong crowd that had gathered with MechaBiyams joined us, we reached nearly 300 people. Among them, many had cosplayed as the avatars they used in-game... and that made the inside of the shop become seriously chaotic.
I quickly dispersed them around the shop, and fortunately, the countless items sold in the building helped ease the chaos to some extent.
Of course, there were also some other items, like these.
“...What’s all this?”
“Ah, it’s a Milly Weapon Shop. They’re selling in-game knives in real life, like jackknives, fixed knives, tactical knives, and automatic knives. If you want, you can pay extra to get your own in-game logo or paint job on the knife...”
“So what about these katanas and... greatswords?”
“They’re for PVE assassination motions. Some of them were made in collaboration with Tera… Well, there are some people who carry those around in Dark Zone during PVE or PVP, so it’s believable.”
- Oh hahahahaha - Ninja build users are going to drool over this hahahahahaha - Wow, there’s a dragon sword too, crazy hahahahaha - Wait, this thing costs 3,000 dollars!!!!!! - Fact: You’ll probably get caught by customs anyway.
Some players who were into the ninja style were eyeing these melee weapons.
As I mentioned earlier, there were small weapons like knives, axes, and katanas, and among them were flashy swords made in collaboration with Tera. When I took a quick look at them with Icarus gear, I didn’t know the performance, but they were definitely well-made.
But there were other things too-
“Ho. This is something I’ve seen before. Was it something the kiddo used often?”
“...When did this come out!?”
“Thanks for telling me. This is exactly what my workplace is aiming for... I’ll explain in detail, but I’d appreciate it if you stopped giving me that terrifying look. Isn’t this a bit much, Eugene?”
“Just say it already, seriously.”
The small butterfly-shaped brooch was strangely familiar.
There were several other items around it, but the hologram below read, “Quarter 4, 2036, product created based on the top 5 users from the Creation Workshop.”
I didn’t recognize the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th items, but at least the 3rd place had the nickname Cartographer... which I wasn’t unfamiliar with.
At that moment, the hologram shifted from text to image. I quickly glanced sideways, and coincidentally, out of the five users who made it into the Creation Workshop’s fourth quarter... only one had a female avatar. In other words, it was very noticeable.
It made me wonder if this was really okay, but then I remembered something I had discussed with my parents not long ago.
“Basically, the avatars created by Dark Zone players belong to Dark Zone. If you copy yourself exactly, there won’t be issues...”
I briefly thought about whether Carto had allowed this, but it seemed like that person didn’t mind creating products like this. They liked their avatar but didn’t get too obsessive about it like it was another self or a daughter.
So, they probably just allowed it in a casual manner.
I wasn’t sure about the details, but if I had to guess, I could say that Icarus wasn’t the kind of company to miss out on including the design in the contract. So maybe Carto signed it without looking too closely.
I don’t know.
Ultimately, the only thing I could say was just a few words.
“Looks like Carto is more popular abroad than I thought.”
“...I think I know why.”
“Me too.”
“Why do you think that?”
“This person, I remember they used to hang out with my daughter. Looks like they agreed to the design proposal. I guess their popularity is already sufficient.”
“Hmm... It might be difficult to put them in the spotlight. Maybe we should wait and see.”
“Hmm.”
