[ GrimPeeper Reply: Haha, serves you right! You talked so much trash before, now you're facing the consequences! ]
Park Young-myung, still fuming, abandoned his computer and walked outside, where someone was standing and smirking when he saw his dark expression, "What? You didn't get selected again?"
Park Young-myung frowned, "The game company must have blacklisted me!"
The man sighed, "Well, you did talk a lot of trash and stirred up trouble."
Park Young-myung grumbled, "You were the one who got me all riled up back then, and now I'm paying for it."
The man shrugged his shoulder and said, "It just shows there's always someone better out there. I didn't expect this outcome either."
Park Young-myung asked, "So what now? I was hoping to get selected so you guys could study how this holographic game was made."
The man gave a mysterious smile and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Our research institute managed to get one unit, so I'll be the one testing it out."
Park Young-myung's eyes widened in surprise, "So you're here to brag to me?!"
The man laughed heartily. Discover more content at m,v l'e-novelhall.net
Lee Bang-myung was the expert that Park Young-myung had consulted earlier.
When Park Young-myung asked about holographic games, Lee Bang-myung got interested.
Park Young-myung, who was his cousin, had some understanding of Lee Bang-myung's work, so he decided to ask him.
Park Young-myung probably didn't expect that Lee Bang-myung's current project was actually related to holographic game development.
After quickly answering Park Young-myung's questions, Lee Bang-myung curiously asked, "Why did you suddenly get interested in this stuff?"
Park Young-myung, usually a rich kid focused on eating, drinking, and having fun, had never really talked about work before.
Park Young-myung explained that he had seen some news about holographic games online, which made him curious, so he decided to ask Lee Bang-myung about it.
When Lee Bang-myung heard that a company had surpassed the research institute's technology to create a holographic game, he found it hard to believe.
Park Young-myung looked at Lee Bang-myung with disappointment, showing a disdainful expression and letting out a "tsk."
Lee Bang-myung wasn't happy about that and playfully ruffled his hair, "What? Are you unhappy with your brother?"
Park Young-myung escaped from his brother's grasp, fixed his hair, and asked with a bit of pride, "Bro, can you ask the World of Eorera if they had blacklisted me?"
Lee Bang-myung laughed, "Why? Do you regret with what you said earlier? Just apologize, and they probably won't care."
Park Young-myung looked frustrated, "How was I supposed to know they were this good? If I had known, I wouldn't have said those things. But now it's been so long; wouldn't it be awkward to apologize?"
Lee Bang-myung patted his shoulder, sighed, and said, "As long as you're not embarrassed, the awkwardness is on them."
With that, he waved his hand and walked away.
Park Young-myung widened his eyes and asked, "You're just leaving?"
Lee Bang-myung grinned widely, "Of course! I have to get ready for work!"
Park Young-myung thought to himself, "What work? Isn't he just going to play the game?"
But then, Park Young-myung realized something, "Wait a minute. Isn't the game update not released yet? How are the third beta testers supposed to enter the game?"
What Park Young-myung didn't know was that the equipment that was sent to the research institute by Hanjun was different from the one that the players received.
In order to ensure the research institute didn't take the players' spots, their equipment only allowed them to become NPCs in the game.
They could experience the game's scenery, and interact with the people in the world of eorera and the players, but they wouldn't get the game function to receive quests or leveling up.
Of course, the game functions weren't the most important thing to the research institute.
What they cared about was how this device could pull people into the game world and how the logic of this game world worked.
Lee Bang-myung successfully logged into his account, and a Ragdoll Cat appeared on the login screen to explain his identity.
