NOVEL NEXT Chapter 575
The news of the new update for Dreaming Mode shocked everyone.
Even if it claims to prevent hundreds or thousands of diseases and drastically increase healthy lifespan, it wasn’t immediately effective for healthy people.
For some, it was more of a luxury than a necessity.
They might think, “Can’t I just subscribe when I get sick later?”
But if the effects are visible, it’s a different story.
[Dream Capsule Review) My acne is definitely calmer than before]
(Before and After Face Photo.jpg)
I had pretty severe pustular acne, but being a teenager, I couldn’t take medication.
I thought I’d give the capsule a try, and looking at the photos, the redness definitely seems to have reduced, right?
It looks like I’m producing less oil than before, anyway I think it works ㅇㅇ.
[Comments]
– Unbelievable, why only you use it!!!!
– Where do you live? Let’s use it together, please.
└ (Author) Since we’re limited to 4 people, I registered my whole family ㅜ
– I apologize for cursing the subscription fee before.
– NoName, if you really have this function, please promote it.
– Aren’t there effects we don’t know about?
└ Seems possible ㅇㅇ; regular medicine and magic medicine have completely different systems.
[Estimated income NoName made today]
The weighted average price of the new VariA Dream1 released is roughly 2,500,000 won.
Out of that, 2% is 50,000 won, and since the subscriber count has surpassed 10 million, simple calculations show it’s 500 billion ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
If we pack one capsule with 4 people, even considering discounts, it’ll be 1.8 trillion won ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Comments]
– In a year, we’ll easily be number one in Korea, right?
– Once a month, a fan meeting with 2 trillion ㄷㄷ
└ NoName for president, lol!
– 100% stake is total fraud.
– Thankfully, if someone else held the stake, I’d feel so hurt ㅠㅠㅠ
– Are they really going to reinvest all that?
– With that much money, shouldn’t they hire professional management?
– I heard they were going to set up a company in the Sephiron commercial district a while ago.
[NoName really feels like having the magic of human transmutation]
[Hey guys, please buy a lot of Dream Capsules ㅠㅠ Your spending will help find a cure for cancer faster!]
[Summary of the effects of Dreaming Mode revealed so far]
The community is full of positive reviews about the Dream Capsule.
However, the media holds a skeptical view that occupies about half of the discussion.
[Experts say Alchemist’s mirror could be an escape from reality… concern over increased dependence on capsules]
[“What if the supply contracts are terminated?”… the pharmaceutical industry is in turmoil over NoName’s risks]
The emergence of new technologies always brings friction.
Especially those expected to be hit hardest.
Bio companies and medical professionals immediately protested, fearing their jobs were on the line.
The media continually instilled fear that a modern-day Luddite movement could emerge.
[Did NoName really say that during the broadcast?]
Is it because Na-me is still young?
It seems to lack consideration for those who work in that field.
Of course, creating good technology is true…
But if someone gets fired from a job they’ve held for life, it’s inevitable they would feel down.
[Comments]
– This was probably a jab at doctors who don’t even know what unemployment benefits are, right?
└ Oh, really?
└ Looking at it detached like this, it’s understandable to interpret it that way.
– Still, the wording is too harsh.
– H… I can’t even imagine how much the media will tear this apart.
[I’m a current nurse, and I’m surprised at how well NoName understands the medical system.]
Korea, along with Europe and China, is notorious for terrible treatment of nurses.
One nurse has to manage 10 patients, sometimes even 20.
There’s some legislation like the 1:5 rule, but since AI manages things, it’s basically meaningless.
What NoName said on the broadcast about “there’s a shortage of nursing staff but also a shortage of jobs” is very accurate.
In our country, about 60% have inactive licenses.
There’s no medical authority or promotion structure, and as the years increase, the workload grows, while the annual salary barely increases before switching out after five years.
Especially on the wards, it’s maddening to manage IVs, check vitals, confirm fluid output, check meal intake, and send patients down for tests, all while having an absurdly long list of notifications. (How did they manage without AI back in the day?)
Anyway, regular charting has to be compromised to some degree, and there’s hardly any time to eat or go to the bathroom, meaning there’s just no support staff.
Now that NoName is supposedly creating an innovative medical system, I’m cautiously optimistic. (Nurses probably won’t go on strike this time.)
[Comments]
– How can one nurse handle 20 patients?
– From the patient’s perspective, this is really messed up. My dad passed away from cancer, and during life support, even when he had a fever, he was treated like he didn’t exist until he swelled up and turned black. Even with a ventilator, he wasn’t able to speak properly before passing.
– The development of modern medicine makes life incredibly resilient. It’s unfortunate to see so much ongoing suffering…
Sixteen organizations, including the Nurses’ Association and Nursing Association, decided to suspend total strikes.
The day before 300,000 Spirit 1 Dream Capsules produced by Samsung were released in the country.
Na-me unveiled a new version of Dreaming Mode.
[Dreaming Mode – For Clans and Corporations]
*
The Sephiron commercial district referred to a block located across from the Academy.
All of the various businesses carried out by the foundation occur there.
Of course, half the land is still barren.
I surveyed the land roughly and headed toward the Academy playground.
When selecting staff, it looks like the work is inevitably going to happen in virtual reality over the next few years.
[Upcoming Live Stream – NoName]
[Looking for an official partner for Janjeol.]
[Scheduled Date: 53. 10. 23 (Thursday) 14:00]
[860,000 people waiting]
I sat on the empty swing in the playground.
The Academy students were having their lunches and diligently attending class.
Those little kids probably have their own worries and stresses, too.
But it’s unavoidable that I envy them.
Maybe it’s because it’s autumn.
I cleared my mind and turned on the broadcast.
It ended up looking a bit funny that making a partnership came before hiring staff.
Since relying solely on AI consultants has its limits, I need to hire actual people sooner rather than later.
[Live]
I tidied my bangs that fluttered in the gentle autumn breeze and stared clearly into the camera.
“Hello, I am NoName. Today, I’m not doing much but just opened this broadcast to introduce the corporate license for Dreaming Mode.”
Drago-nia Nascentia is about transforming every component of the human body into an ideal state.
If you can transform it all at once like Adella, problems wouldn’t exist.
However, due to the limits of integration, it’s impossible to perfectly commercialize magic.
The problem that arises here is,
Sometimes, what is deemed ‘ideal’ can lead to even greater effects despite not being ideal.
For example, antibiotics can kill beneficial bacteria within the body, leading to side effects like bile secretion disorders and liver necrosis.
Yet, in cases of acute pneumonia or wound infections, antibiotics are invaluable inventions for humanity.
Currently, Dreaming Mode doesn’t create guaranteed effects on the human body with the same level as antibiotics.
I carefully reminded the viewers of this fact as I continued to speak clearly.
“In the future, critical patients will still require many surgeries and artificial medications.”
The only ones who can bridge this gap are, of course, humans.
“There are also diseases that cannot be cured by Dreaming Mode, and patients who require periodic medication and meticulous care do exist. Moreover, the quasi-virtual world is a space where the capsule and the user’s Aura Heart are closely connected.”
The platform for remote treatment beyond telemedicine has been technically realized.
So there’s no need to hesitate.
“First, I’m willing to invest in pharmaceutical companies and related clans that are implementing existing medications in the quasi-virtual space. Especially, if combined with Nascentia’s side effect control technology, it’s expected to create significant synergy.”
The components of the medication are datafied and transmitted to the human Aura Heart.
If the side effects can be controlled through Nascentia, the best service can be offered to the patient.
“Secondly, to meet the explosive demand expected for Dream Capsules in the future, I’m looking for medical corporations that can exclusively monitor and care for patients. I ask for the participation of medical organizations capable of diagnosing and providing care for patients either in hospitals or at home.”
I was also considering to employ thousands or tens of thousands of doctors and nurses under the medical corporation to maximize the efficiency of the workflow.
“If any companies are interested in what I mentioned, please get in touch. I will review official partnership agreements or acquisitions based on investment performance.”
I worried that today might have bored viewers with only formal business talk.
But I couldn’t just always go live for entertainment purposes on V-tube.
It seemed like my bold statements ignited a fiery chat window.
– NoName declared they would conquer the entire medical market ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
– Is this really possible?
– Considering the income generated every month, it might just be possible…
– Usually, diabetes market, obesity market are divided into sectors, but capturing it all isㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– NoName, the ambitious one, will outsmart even Yu-bi.
– What’s the reason for going this far…?
“Nothing has changed in 50 or 100 years, right? What have you done to promote medical service publicization and solve regional medical imbalances? And did it have any effect?”
The public medical system in this world is on the verge of collapse, or rather, has essentially collapsed.
At least in Korea, we’re only squeaking by due to the sacrifices of medical personnel; in other countries, it’s downright horrendous.
Without medical insurance, individuals can’t even afford surgical fees.
Yet the purchasing power of the top 1% has only increased, leading pharmaceutical companies and general hospitals to use premium strategies over public strategies.
Unnecessary distribution margins and excessive rebate costs are all passed on to the patients.
This is the natural result based on the logic of capitalism.
“I can solve it.”
Having saved a wretched world once, this was a piece of cake for me.
Ding dong ding dong-
The Academy bell rang.
Students who had prepared ahead of time for physical education began to trickle out.
“Hmm? Who’s at the playground?”
“Someone’s sitting on the swing alone. Isn’t that our senior?”
“Should we tell the teacher? It feels scary.”
The kids thought if they whispered from afar, I wouldn’t hear them.
Shake shake-
When I gestured for them to come over, the boys and girls froze in place.
But since I told them to come, they rushed over.
“What grade are you in?”
“I’m in 1st grade.”
“I knew it.”
Standing from the swing, I petted their heads like young chickens.
“Who are you, unnie?”
Oh, they’re already calling me ‘unnie’ now.
How touching to exceed the average height of first graders at the age of ten.
“Oh? I think I’ve seen you on TV!”
“Do you know me?”
“Yes! Aren’t you that senior who participated in a huge competition?”
“Yep.”
“Whoa, is it really true? You are NoName-senpai?”
“I’ve never seen someone who’s been on TV before!”
“Really? How does it feel?”
“It’s amazing! My mom and dad took me because it was related to NoName-senpai at Sephiron Academy.”
“Me too, me too!”
The kids started sharing their TMI and boasting about themselves.
After all, at that age, it’s only natural to crave attention.
“I heard a lot about you from the teachers. So, what grade are you in, NoName-senpai?”
“I don’t go to school.”
“Huh?”
“I work. At a company.”
“Isn’t a company only for adults?”
“Nope, NoName-senpai is smart, so I can work there, right?”
“Hmm, I guess that’s possible.”
“Hehe, see, I was right. Nice to meet you, unnie! We have to go for gym class now.”
“Alright, have fun.”
“We’re not playing; we’re having a performance assessment today. Can I ask one thing? If I study hard, can I get into your company?”
“Slaves are always welcome.”
“Hey, Jang Min-seo, what are you doing? Let’s go quickly! The PE teacher is here!”
“Already? Aaaah, run fast!”
A little dust devil swirled in the spot where the kids had just been.
I bowed to the new teacher at the Academy before leaving.
Hands behind my back, I walked along the newly bloomed lilac flower bed.
“Those kids are cute, aren’t they?”
– First-grade chickiesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Huh, did I just mishear that?
– I can’t say Na-me is of similar height…
– Isn’t it shocking to think Na-me was this short?
– Did the room leader have such innocent days, too?
– Na-me is still innocent!
A warm feeling spread in my chest.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly feeling a gaze from somewhere, I looked up.
A pair of reddish, twinkling eyes like stars shone from the second-floor window of the Academy main building.
The girl, resting her chin on her hand and blankly staring outside, made eye contact with me.
I said nothing, just formed the words with my lips.
[Seo Yu-na Fool]
“…!”
As I sensed the window might swing open, I turned on my heel and sprinted away.
– ???
– ??
– What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Sudden run.
– What is NoName doing?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Let’s go play some ding-dong or something at the hideout.”
