Chapter 1091 Counterattack
Arasaka Group is a company established by Umbrella integrating the chaebols of Neon and South Korea.
Through gradual divestiture, Arasaka Group and Umbrella now have little direct relationship on the surface and can only be regarded as trading partners entrusted with the management of businesses in both places.
But in fact, he is undoubtedly Umbrella's loyal lackey.
The reason why it is separated, instead of being directly managed by Umbrella like Mexico, is mainly because Umbrella itself is a conscientious enterprise.
Although I have done a lot of things, they all had their reasons, and most of the time they were "self-defense". Although I do not accept moral kidnapping, I usually have room for maneuver when doing things.
Mexico was rescued from the dire situation and has a very solid public support base.
However, in places like South Korea and Japan where traditional forces are deeply rooted, it would take a lot of effort to sort out the situation in a normal way.
In this case, it is natural to find the Arasaka Group to do the dirty work.
Today, the two countries’ food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, aging, sickness and death cannot be separated from the giant Arasaka Group .
Although Arasaka will not suppress ordinary people, normal people can still enjoy some benefits brought by Umbrella technology.
But he was ruthless to some stubborn traditional forces. In just a few years, he made the two places obedient and submitted to Arasaka's rule.
Now, the leaders of both countries are not as effective as Arasaka.
People gradually got used to the existence of Arasaka.
Looking at the various service robots on the road, the security drones patrolling in the sky, and the various drone transportation scenes, one can also see a corner of the prosperity brought about by the explosion of new technologies.
Nowadays, the advertising screens in Akihabara and many commercial streets have been replaced with projection imaging.
All kinds of fancy advertisements appeared directly in the sky.
What’s strange is that quite a few of the advertisements are actually job openings, looking for “Abyss World” players, with no restrictions on other abilities!
If you have the talent of a mage, your benefits will increase.
As a large number of factory jobs were replaced by more efficient robots and excess production capacity was taken over by Umbrella using the Martian Zerg as an excuse, manual labor has become completely uncompetitive in many areas.
Today, "World of Abyss" has become a safety reservoir.
Players who want to find a job or just relax have all entered and worked hard.
Because the basic have increased the "minimum guarantee" for players, this has also forced major companies to passively raise their recruitment salaries.
In the past, when people talked about professional gamers, they felt that it was not a proper job, but now "professional gamers" has become the fastest growing and most popular emerging profession.
Whether full-time or part-time, whether for a company, studio or individual, it has undoubtedly become the hottest destination for talent today.
In addition to the recruitment advertisements mentioned above , many people handing out flyers on the streets are also recruiting people.
There are muscular men and various cosplay ladies, and many of them also cosplay popular characters in the game "Abyss World".
For example, Baroness Danik, Count Luke, and even the people in the novice guide Dali's team, or some of the popular top stars in "Appreciation Guide".
It is obviously reality, but it gives people a sense of dislocation as if they have entered a game.
"The Sephi Realm is about to counterattack. We need to have a good meal."
In a coffee shop, Yoko turned her grief and anger into appetite and kept struggling with the ice cream in front of her.
Gu Qianqian was also sitting opposite her, eating in small bites.
While watching some news projected in front of me.
There are some about the recent invasion of the seven realms, and some in the game.
Now that the high priest has been captured, the Seven Realms seem to have entered a strategic defensive state, guarding the three acres of land in New York and Washington, and have repeatedly expressed signs of peace talks.
In the abyss world, it has been clearly stated that a full-scale attack on Mithras will be launched soon!
"You said that the seven realms must have known about it, why hasn't it been popularized here yet?"
Yoko was helpless to complain and felt the pressure of knowing the secret.
We are about to attack the seven realms, and their people on Earth will definitely bring back the information, but for more than 99% of the players, this is still just a game.
Currently, only a few people know the truth.
It seems that everyone who knows the situation has their own tacit understanding and does not make it public.
"Isn't this normal? I guess some people in the big beautiful organization may not dare to say more when they find out there is a problem."
Gu Qianqian thought it was normal, because confirming this matter would prove that Umbrella's strength was far beyond its current performance. Who would dare to take this risk before Umbrella announced it on its own initiative?
Maybe some of them even ran away directly from the big beautiful organization.
"Is there a place nearby that can replace a gaming helmet? I lost my helmet."
At this moment, a man wearing a windbreaker, hat and sunglasses on a hot day came into the coffee shop and asked the clerk for advice.
This kind of attire also made Gu Qianqian look at it twice, and then turned back to Yangzi and said
"Look, maybe this guy is a foreigner who discovered the truth and escaped from Da Piaoliang. He wanted to avoid trouble and didn't even bring a helmet with him."
"You have a really big imagination."
While eating dessert, Yoko couldn't help but give Gu Qianqian a blank look.
Isaiah Rapp, who was asking the clerk questions, shuddered for no apparent reason and then tightened his clothes.
Just as he escaped from the laboratory, a dimension invasion occurred. He had been hiding in Neon during this period, fearing that he would be found by some hidden forces left behind by Da Piaoliang.
However, he did not want to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, so after staying out of the spotlight, and now that the Seven Realms had completely occupied New York and Washington, he wanted to find a channel to get a new helmet, so that he could make some money in the game in the future.
The meditation effect in the game is far better than in reality.
Now that I know it's a real game, I must focus on improving myself...
…
Similar plans appeared in almost every player who noticed the abnormality of the game.
In the vast majority of cases where they are magic users, they can also feel the efficiency of meditation in the game.
In addition to magic concentration, it should also be related to the design structure of the game itself. Combined with the good talents of humans, they all feel through comparison that the speed at which players become mages is generally faster than that of game NPCs.
At the same time, major companies are recruiting a lot of credit points and hot money into the game, and they are beginning to fully arm the players!
In fact, the world has always been in a state of double overcapacity of capital and production capacity, so there are many reservoirs in the financial field to hold these.
Now the excess production capacity is being taken up by Umbrella, but the financial sector is still very turbulent.
Now that Da Piaoliang has been beaten to a state of being vulnerable on all sides and Umbrella does not pay attention to finance, then "Abyss World", which relies on Umbrella's endorsement and has the potential for consciousness uploading in the future, is the best safe haven for capital.
Umbrella took the money and used the excuse of suppressing the Zerg on Mars to buy things everywhere, placed various orders, and then sent large quantities of supplies into the game, directly getting the entire system flowing.
At this moment, in the abyss, below the floating city of Tam Territory, rainbow beams of light fell from the sky, officially opening the transmission channel to Mithras.
The army of players who had been waiting for a long time, under the command of major companies, accompanied by many studios and individual teams, began to march towards Mithras.
Some heroes and even legendary warriors from the Sefi Realm followed closely behind to ensure the deterrence of high-level combat power and to prevent strategic magic strikes...
