exorcism 2. President’s Game (1)
Seosung Electronics, which was considered a strong player in the semiconductor and smartphone markets, joined hands with Karos to dominate the automotive electronic equipment market, and has grown into a company with a market cap of over KRW 1,000 trillion.
Seosung Electronics decided not to stay here, but to challenge new industries. That’s the game field.
VRMMORPG development led by OTK Games has received tremendous momentum.
This will be a game changer, literally changing the history of the game world.
Therefore, Seoseong Electronics joined hands with OTK Games to develop a console that can run virtual reality games.
If successful, there is a high possibility that it will become a future food source for Suseong Electronics after automobile electronic equipment.
***
After graduating from the game department of a local college, Kim Hyeon-ho has been living as an unemployed for two years.
His pocket money had long since been cut off, so he worked part-time at a convenience store at night, and other times he mostly played games at home.
After accessing Lost Fantasy Online, he heard from his friends who played games with him that Seoseong Electronics had published a special recruitment notice for VRMMORPG console development.
[Namidais muscle loss: Suseong Electronics specially hired this time.][GU One Way: Developing a console would be fun. Are VRMMORPGs really coming out? But aren’t the qualifications tight?][Three generations of five hundred won: This time, the recruitment standards have changed, so the minimum educational level is high school graduate or higher, and they are selected based only on skills, not academic degrees or certificates.][GU One-way: I heard that a lot of large companies are hiring blinds these days, so it seems like that.][Namidais muscle loss: As I am a console developer, wouldn’t it be advantageous if I knew the game well?][Three generations of five hundred won: Right now, game junkies are going to be furious about putting in the application form.][Hill Armor Enforcement Team: Haha, that’s all nonsense. I’ll just say that it’s blind hiring, and I’ll just pick and choose the kids from prestigious universities~][Three generations of five hundred won: Ha ha. Still, you have to go down to see it.]Up until this point, I had no interest in it. But as soon as his mother kissed him on the back, he changed his mind.
damn!
“Evil! Why are you hitting me?”
“You don’t get a job, you just play games at home! What the hell are you trying to be? Cheol-oh next door is so attached to SSK Telecom!
“I’m going to get a job now, too! I’m getting job information right now. My mom doesn’t even know.”
“Where are you going to get a job?”
“Seo Seong Electronics.”
“What? Seoseong Electronics? What nonsense? Do you know what kind of convenience store it is?”
“Don’t stop me. Sooner or later, my son will join Suseong Electronics.”
My mother gave me a surprised expression, and a guy called my sister, who I heard about later, grabbed my stomach and laughed.
“Fuhaha! When you join Seosung Electronics, you put a chapter in my hands.”
When everyone said no, something went wrong.
I was more confident than anyone else when it came to playing games while touching the computer. I’ve played almost all MMORPGs that have been released so far, and I’ve cleared all the Lost Fantasy series.
Kim Hyun-ho made a job application with screenshots of the games he had played.
He actually didn’t think he was going to be able to even submit his job application. But surprisingly, he passed the document screening, went up to the interview, and even passed!
What kind of company is Seosung Electronics?
It is the largest company in Korea and the world’s largest IT manufacturer.
Seriously, even if Korea goes bankrupt, Seosung Electronics won’t go bankrupt, but if Seosung Electronics goes down, is there a saying that Korea will collapse?
When her son passed Seoseong Electronics, her mother was excited and spread rumors around the neighborhood, proudly boasting about her son in front of her mother.
Of course, the older sister did not hold the chapter in her hand.
Kim Hyun-ho went to Daejeon to receive training for new employees.
Since he was a special recruit, there weren’t many people there.
Still, the number was close to 100 as new employees from each affiliate gathered in one place.
Men and women of the same age exchanged greetings by talking to each other.
“Which college did you go to?”
“I came from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Yeonyeon University.”
“Yeonseong University. That’s the Korean language department of Yeonyeon University.”
“Ah! Really? What grade are you in?”
The new recruits who saw each other for the first time gathered around Gakyeon.
Even if they were selected based on their ability without looking at their academic background and qualifications, most of them were from colleges or universities that you would know just by hearing their names.
Nevertheless, academic degrees and qualifications indicate a person’s abilities. Therefore, the higher the education level and the more qualifications, the higher the probability of having better skills.
Still, thanks to blind hiring, there were people who joined despite their academic background. Kim Hyun-ho was just such a case.
He realized it through training.
They are all equally stupid now, but sooner or later the gap will widen. While he was playing games, the others studied hard and got their licenses, so it’s only natural.
In order not to fall behind, you need to be alert from now on.
He clenched his fists and swore.
‘From now on, only studying!’
***
After training for new employees.
Kim Hyun-ho entered the console development department. There, the developers who made gaming laptops and monitors had already separated from each other and formed a team.
He had a couple and went out drinking and hanging out with his close friends, but he devoted his time to self-development, such as going to a private academy after work and taking online lectures.
Three months passed like that.
As he was slowly getting used to the job, his manager approached and said,
“Mr. Hyun-ho Kim.”
“Yes!”
“The boss called.”
“Yes? Boss?”
The business divisions of Seosung Electronics are divided into semiconductors, IM, CE, display, and electronics.
If you look at each division alone, it is larger than most chaebol groups. In addition, Seosung Electronics has a supply chain and sales network not only in Korea but also around the world.
As the company is doing business around the world, the president stayed in Korea for only a few months.
It is extremely rare for a new employee to speak directly to the president.
‘What the hell is going on?’
He went to his boss’s office, very nervous. When I entered the president’s office following the secretary’s guidance, I saw Dong-Jun Cho, the president of Seosung Electronics’ IM division.
He bowed his head and said hello.
“Hello. This is Kim Hyun-ho, a new employee of Seosung Electronics.”
“Sit there for a second.”
President Cho Dong-jun was concentrating on scanning his data. I did something and took a peek, and it was none other than his job application.
“I see here that I have won prizes in game competitions.”
“Yes. When I was in college, I went to a star contest hosted by Bear TV and finished third.”
At that time, he even dreamed of becoming a pro gamer for a while. He was knocked out in the next tournament, though he was eliminated from the qualifiers.
President Cho Dong-jun said as he closed his documents.
“What’s your job?”
Kim Hyun-ho quickly responded with an attentive posture.
“I am an employee of Seoseong Electronics.”
“It was a question about what your job was in Lost Fantasy Online.”
“Yes? Ah! White Mage.”
“What level is it?”
“It’s Manlab.”
“Then can I use Arcane Thror?”
“It’s possible. That’s because it’s a magic that you must learn when you reach level 30.”
“Lightning writes?”
“You can use it. However, since it is a wide-area machine, MP consumption is large, and there is a problem that once used, it becomes completely defenseless for 3 minutes.”
“Do you have any engineering experience?”
“Yes.”
In fact, he is an engineering major, including Legend of War, WOF, Black Desert, and Lost Fantasy Online.
Not to mention the money, he served as an engineering captain in all three major games and achieved the engineering captain triple crown.
“I’ll ask you one last time. Why did you choose a white mage as a profession?”
“I’m confident in my control.”
The wizard controls the mouse when casting magic, and must enter commands. The amount of damage varies depending on how accurately and quickly you input. That was the reason he chose the White Mage.
President Cho Dong-jun, who got up from his seat, patted his shoulder with a satisfied smile.
“You passed. You are the talent we were looking for.”
“…Yes?”
‘Mother! My son is so recognized by the company!’
However, it is still questionable as to why it was recognized.
“From now on, you have work to do.”
Kim Hyun-ho looked at his eyes and asked carefully.
“What can I do?”
“Starting today, I’ll take over the SS raid squad leader.”
“……Yes?”
***
After work, Kim Hyun-ho headed to a cafe in Nonhyeon-dong with CEO Cho Dong-jun.
There were already six people gathered there. These were the engineering members of the SS attack squad, and they were all composed of executives and employees of the Seoseong Group.
“Excluding those who have work, only people who are nearby gathered.”
They welcomed Kim Hyun-ho.
“Welcome. I am Joo Seong-mo, executive director of Seoseong Life Insurance.”
“Nice to meet you. This is Choi Dong-wook, director of Seoseong Fire & Marine Insurance.”
The person with the lowest rank was the team leader.
After the greeting, Kim Hyun-ho sat down. After each of them ordered coffee, CEO Dong-Jun Cho brought up the main topic.
“Did you know that the president is playing Lost Fantasy Online?”
“Yes. I saw it in the press.”
Perhaps because of that, OTK Games and Seoseong Electronics held several events together.
Kim Hyun-ho asked.
“Hey, but where did the original engineering captain go?”
“The former chief of engineering was Seoseong SB, Seong Min-ho.”
He was working hard on Lost Fantasy Online, and one day, he was so thirsty for the paladin he was playing with in a raid. But it turned out that the paladin was the president of the company he worked for.
It was a famous anecdote that Chairman Im Jin-yong visited him and ate with him. He knew we’d been playing games together ever since… …
‘Did you get cut because of work then?’
I think so, CEO Cho Dong-jun said.
“Not long ago, I was promoted and moved to the current Frankfurt branch. I have to receive training for a year, so it’s impossible to entrust the chief of engineering for a while.”
“That’s right.”
‘Fortunately, I didn’t get cut and was promoted safely.’
“Currently, our engineering college is preparing for the Karactula raid.”
Karactula is one of the representative boss mobs in Lost Fantasy Online, and you can receive various items by defeating them.
The most important of these is… …
“The President needs the Polaris Sword, which can be obtained by defeating Karactula. Since this is a binding item, it can only be obtained through raids.”
Lost Fantasy Online is a subscription service and does not sell any game-related items. However, it did not block item transactions between users. Therefore, money and items earned in the game were actively traded between users.
There was also an official website that relayed and auctioned it.
However, since the bound items belong to the account, it was impossible to trade them unless the whole character was sold.
“Isn’t it okay to just buy a similar sword? Even if the Polaris Sword doesn’t trade, the Galaxy Sword does. The dildo comes out better, and there’s even a wide area buff skill.”
In fact, the Polaris Sword wasn’t that great of an item.
If you’re smart, you can buy enough for 5 million won. If someone you don’t know hears it, they’ll be shocked at what game items you spend that much money on, but compared to items that cost tens of millions of won, this is a little too much.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
Not long ago, Red Stream, which succeeded in strengthening 7, was sometimes traded at a price of over 100 million at an auction.
President Cho Dong-jun asked Hyun-ho Kim.
“Do you know how rich the president is in Korea?”
It was a random question, but he answered calmly.
Isn’t that fourth place?”
There was a time when the richest man in Korea thought of the family of the owner of the Seosung Group. The domestic ranking was pushed back due to the OTK Company trio (?), but the world ranking rose by dozens of steps.
As Kim Hyun-ho did not seem to understand, President Cho Dong-jun added a word.
“If you’re going to play smart, why would the president play a game?”
“Ah…”
The reason the game is fun is that it is rewarded for the amount of time and effort put into it. If you can easily get what you want through insanity, there is no need to play the game.
“The president is Noh Hyeon-jil.”
Therefore, the raid must be successful.
Karactula is a representative boss mob in Lost Fantasy Online.
There are many things that can be gained if the attack is successful, but it is notorious for being very difficult to attack. Even when talented engineering teams rush in, about two-thirds of them fail.
“Have you ever attacked before?”
President Cho Dong-jun nodded his head.
“I tried twice, but failed. Somehow, I managed to get to the 3rd phase, but then I was wiped out.”
Some boss mobs transform as the battle progresses. Each time the strategy changes.
Kim Hyun-ho watched the video of the last failed raid on his smartphone. And he coldly analyzed the power of the SS engineering corps.
“The 15-person squad itself isn’t bad. It would be nice to have one dealer missing and one more healer, but the current configuration is fine. The important thing is tactics. It doesn’t mean that you do it. You have to devise a group tactic according to the type of boss mob.”
At his words, the expressions of the president, managing director, and director brightened.
“Heh heh! This friend is not normal.”
“How could such a talented person exist at Seoseong Electronics?”
“I’m looking forward to the future raid.”
Kim Hyun-ho, who received everyone’s expectations, said in a panic.
“But there are many things that I lack in many ways to become an engineering captain.”
The position of the engineering captain is a position with greater responsibilities and duties than the group task leader. While commanding the entire engineering school, one person has to do his part. And it should also act as a mediator to mediate so that there is no conflict between the engineering members.
‘Because the game world is wide and there are many trolls.’
It is not uncommon for raids to fail or to disintegrate due to an unqualified engineering leader.
“I haven’t been able to properly adjust to my job yet, so I’m not sure if I can take on such an important position.”
President Cho Dong-jun put his hand on his shoulder and said.
“Games are also an extension of work.”
“…Yes?”
“When the mobile phone first came out, no one could have imagined that everyone around the world would have one. The chairman thinks VRMMORPG consoles will be like that too. So, he’s been thinking about the direction of development by playing the game himself. .”
“Ah! Such a deep meaning! That’s why the boss is also working hard on Lost Fantasy Online!”
President Cho Dong-jun nodded at Kim Hyun-ho’s resilience.
“That’s it.”
Actually, I just did it because it was fun.
