「SnowFieldFox has gifted 100 stars.」
「HellishlyGood: I thought it was a death trap when the flares went off and those monsters swarmed.」
「OldSpice: You don't even accept the munchkin package as a gift. I thought the host was about to end the broadcast, but he overcame the situation like this. Seems like he was confident from the start.」
「Владимир: Happiness from R U S S I A」
「IngrownToeNail: That host kid seems insanely talented and arrogant. He kicks away all viewer quests, what a spoiled brat.」
「DangerousUnderBlanket: Can't agree more on the talent part. Damn, I was sad enough being a TOM idiot and lacking in control. No matter how much money I spend, I can't do what he does, and thinking about it makes me seriously depressed.」
「NoMoneyNoPay: The reactions of the soldiers are on a whole different level. People like the host are undoubtedly superior to others without any effort or hardships. Do we have to feel the world's unfairness even in virtual reality? I wish all those talent freaks were gone.」
「HellaCute: Shut up, you idiots. Why the hell are you cursing and acting up on a broadcast that others enjoy? ㅗㅗ The host is totally my type. It's a shame he's so intellectually heavy.」
「What'sYourDeal: HellaCute, you're a girl, aren't you? Let's go on a date.」
「HellaCute: Get lost.」
「SALHAE: I understand your points, but don't curse this broadcast. What if the host's mental state shatters and he quits? This is the only joy in my irregular office slave life.」
「BigBlackPines: You're so resilient, always watching even after the host messes with you. ㅎㅎㅎ」
「SALHAE: I know, right? I don't even know why I'm like this. While I miss other broadcasts where they only bang, I can't watch them anymore.」
「SALHAE: I feel more alive here than outside. Objectively, this side is a monster zone, a greater hell, yet sometimes I wish it were reality. It makes my life seem darker.」
「Storm224: Obviously game broadcasts are more fun than work.」
「SALHAE: It's a bit different from that... I can't explain it well...」
「まつみん: Matsumin can't understand why some people feel depressed. Do you really need to?」
「まつみん has gifted 200 stars.」
「HellExpert: You try to understand them. Those nerds have nothing enjoyable but games, hence their lives are like this.」
「Jjarappappa: Man ㅋㅋㅋ Damage metrics are breaking. But why does it hurt my heart...」
「1BillionLoan: Why are you picking a fight with me, HellExpert ಠ_ಠ」
「ProudPrincess♡: Tears are flowing. ㅠㅠ」
「Don'tPitchWithNames: Games are inferior goods. People who have to calculate cost-effectiveness due to financial constraints have no alternatives but games.」
「Ryu Kwon-nae Lau: What are you talking about?」
「HalfDarkHome: HellExpert's area attack rocks, are you taking it as a compliment?」
「Cashmere: I'm sick of this HalfDark concept... Sir, how long will you keep this up?」
「まつみん: Hmm, I get what you mean, but I still don't understand.」
「まつみん: Didn't Gyeo-ul say this before? When life is gray, at least you should smile.」
「まつみん: I really agreed with that. Things aren't great in Japan either. But I try hard to smile. Everyone, smile! If people who smile gather, wouldn't happiness you didn't have emerge?」
「まつみん: Friends from the neighboring country, be strong! ╰(*´︶`*)╯」
「Ryu Kwon-nae Lau: What is this? My hands and feet are curling. Is this a psychic attack?」
「ㄹㅇㅇㅈ: No, that's the innocence you lost over 40,000 years. Accept it.」
「GrapesofWrath: I wish Matsumin were my girlfriend... If I go to Japan, would she date me?」
「まつみん: Sorry! Matsumin already has a boyfriend!」
「GrapesofWrath: What...」
「RewardGained: Well, it's come to this. Let's aim for internal unity and conquer Japan.」
「KorMericanAlliance: Attacking Japan lol」
「SnowFieldFox has gifted 100 stars.」
「SALHAE has gifted 150 stars.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: Fighting species Koreans argue over talent. Then what about us? Because you guys dominate virtual reality, the whole world suffers.」
「Владимир: That's right. A Korean friend in Moscow said he can't play his game. So, we had a one-on-one skirmish, and I was the only one dying constantly. 0 kills, 75 deaths in 30 minutes.」
「Владимир: Seems like there are a lot of awful Koreans in this world.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: You poor Russia-loving guy, did you keep such a scammer as a friend?」
「Владимир: We're no longer friends. By now, I think he's at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.」
「BigBuffetBoy86: You Russians have some savage jokes. :)」
「Владимир: It's not a joke.」
「HellExpert: Foreigners, listen to me. Since there's no other joy, they keep playing games, so their skills improve.」
「groseillier noir: That's not entirely true. You have something innate, maybe it's because you're Mongoloid.」
「Blair: Baguette, did you finally learn eugenics?」
「groseillier noir: No, there might actually be racial differences. Think about it. Big Black Pines have the 'Black Dragon' between their legs, don't they?」
「BigBlackPines: Black Dragon... I hate that I agree with this.」
「YourMom: Haha, as expected from your nickname, it's inherent... Talent, indeed.」
「Musiell has gifted 30 stars.」
「Musiell: You keep talking about talent, but I've never experienced it myself. How different is the host from ordinary people?」
「Don'tPitchWithNames: Well, I think it's more about the host's mindset than talent.」
「まつみん: Mindset? Why?」
「Don'tPitchWithNames: No matter how good the "technology" is, it's still a person's use. 「Firearms Proficiency」 is basically a correction of aim speed and accuracy... things like 「Perception」 respond to the host's unconscious demands, so the method and efficiency completely change depending on who uses it.」
「Don'tPitchWithNames: Could those complaining guys achieve the same result if given the host's physical abilities? I say absolutely not.」
「Storm224: Why are you picking a fight?」
「BigBlackPines: 2222222」
「Don'tPitchWithNames: No fight here. Did you see how he took care of others during the battles? Do you think if he relied solely on talent, he'd have handled it so neatly?」
「Don'tPitchWithNames: It's a difference in mindset. It's not just about talent. Of course, there's talent, but it's not 100%.」
「まつみん: It seems like Gyeo-ul always considers others' perspectives.」
「まつみん: That's why he's more charming♡ (/ω＼*)」
「GrapesofWrath: Matsumin, you said you have a boyfriend...」
「まつみん: It's okay. My boyfriend has an NTR kink.」
「GrapesofWrath: ?!」
「BillyHarrington: NTR... is it truly what I think it is? That insane fetish where someone gets pleasure from having their partner taken away?」
「まつみん: In virtual reality, nTR doesn't have any risk, so my boyfriend was the one who suggested it.」
「まつみん: Actually, he's also watching the same channel right now! He's shy, so he doesn't speak, though.」
「KorMericanAlliance: Oh dear...」
「Mustafa: We'll never be able to beat Japan.」
「HardKay: Don't give up, Mustafa. There's the miracle on the Han River.」
「Storm224: No, seriously... what's with Matsumin matching her partner's preferences? Was her affection for the host really an act for her boyfriend?」
「まつみん: Tehe. You found out.」
「まつみん: Still, my thoughts that Gyeo-ul is impressive are true. It's half acting, half sincerity. The best host I've ever seen!」
「まつみん: But I really love only my boyfriend!」
「SALHAE: Oh Lord.」
「SALHAE: Why is your created world like this?」

#Korea Economic Reform Committee, 2042
「Committee Member A: Currently, Korea is experiencing a severe case of institutional anomie. Technology has advanced, with the world's shape entirely changed, yet the outdated systems and regulations cannot keep up with these changes.」
「Committee Member E: I agree. Although a new society has formed, outdated regulations still linger, and that's a significant issue.」
「Committee Member B: Right. Statistics suggest that 97% of office workers in 2041 were working in virtual reality. Why would regular office workers need an office in the real world? What does this mean? These people don't need to commute. They save on transportation costs and time.」
「Committee Member E: Thanks to this, housing environments have changed drastically too. Back in the day, people focused on convenient transportation, clustering in bedroom communities. Now, there's no need to cluster. There's almost no demand for offices. When did the house prices drop?」
「Committee Member C: Just thinking back makes me dreadful. When property prices plummeted, we nearly collapsed as a nation. How many banks and companies went bankrupt back then?」
「Committee Member D: Didn't Chairman Go Guncheol swoop up all those properties to pump up his wealth? After Postmortem Insurance was introduced and Korea evolved into a global virtual reality hub, Seoul's plummeted land price rose by 1,700% in a year, right? He's still the world's biggest landowner. Luck favored that reckless maverick. Makes me envious.」
「Committee Member C: A bit off-topic, but when will that fellow stop playing lone ranger?」
「Committee Member D: He's someone who's taken over 20% of Korea's economy alone. Can smallfry like us even catch his eye? Recently, I heard he's eyeing the Paradise Group. It's a big problem.」
「Committee Member A: Now, let's get back to our main discussion. We were talking about the housing environment, right?」
「Committee Member E: Yes. Even regular workers' homes differ greatly from the past. Why need a large space? Homes can be small because virtual reality is far more pleasant. Only the bare minimum of space is needed. It's economical. These days, people say it feels like living in a coop.」
「Committee Member B: A coop... Quite a humorous description. Anyway, no need for convenience in transport, nor for large sizes. Housing costs can be significantly lower than in the past, right?」
「Committee Member C: That applies to food costs, too. Delicious food is abundantly available in virtual reality. Consuming real-world cuisine is now a luxury. Cutting down on extravagant spending is typical, and that's what's been happening. Energy packs now occupy over 80% of the food market, and food costs have significantly dropped compared to the past.」
「Committee Member B: Indeed... Consider entertainment expenses similarly null. Now, would you visit an amusement park or travel abroad?」
「Committee Member E: In conclusion, since housing, transportation, food, and entertainment costs have decreased significantly, the criteria for calculating the minimum cost of living should differ from the past... That's what I believe.」
「Committee Member A: Agreed. Now is the time to consider not just freezing, but lowering the minimum wage.」
「Committee Member B: In fact, we must actively review extending working hours or reducing statutory holidays. With the commuting time eliminated, workers actually have more rest time. It's a significant national loss.」
「Committee Member A: We must secure national competitiveness while we can. Korea is squandering too many opportunities.」
「Committee Member B: Let's push through. We need to pass the economic reform bill this year at any cost.」

Q. 「反」Kid: How does the Trickster know about the existence of radio-tracing missiles? How does the Trickster know about the existence of radio-tracing missiles?
A. 14C2A58H2: Kid / The protagonist guessed that something like a deathly scream or final words before the Trickster died or fainted was similar to sharing information.
Q. BlueCoralForest: If zombies get that much stronger later, won't humans have enhancements like body modifications or superpowers?
A. Humans already possess guns, cannons, airplanes, missiles, radars, satellites, chemical weapons, and nuclear bombs. Isn't that enough? :)

Damn, politicians are more incompetent in the future. Who would have known?
