NOVEL NEXT Chapter 674
[VR SPACE] Got scammed in a ridiculous way… Galtix ← Watch out for this guy!
If you transfer more than a certain amount, a notification pops up, but with a macro, cancel the transaction and re-transaction and the previously entered amount accumulates, so I got ripped off like a dog.
Seeing those sniper posts on the gallery, I thought, “Did they really fall for that?” but then I realized, ah, I fell for it too, damn…
[Comments]
– It was posted an hour ago, and you fell for it again, lol.
└ (Author) My 100 million wonㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Are you stupid? Who’s going to pay the money back? You can’t even snipe the coordinates anyway.
└ The portal is still open, so if they don’t return the investment, sniping is possible.
– Brain completely fried? lol
[NoName seems to have also gotten scammed in a stellar front event, lol]
(NoName Official Bulletin.jpg)
Looks like NoName got scammed too in the Star Front event, lol.
They say they’re gonna gather the funds and turn the coordinates into a hellhole!
Surrender if you want to live, they say, dang!
[Comments]
– Sir, you can’t surrender due to system limitations!!!
└ ???: Then die.
– If the coordinates can’t be fixed, what a crazy idea to wipe out the whole area, lol.
– The scammer has achieved their life’s ambition.
└ Trying to scam NoName is quite the task.
└ Looking at the connection time, it’s probably just family, right?
└ Yeah, it’s family, lol.
– Wouldn’t it be a scam if NoName collects the energy ball directly?
– NoName truly is a wreck.
– NoName has personality, but he definitely won’t hold back, lol.
– So refreshing, NoName.
└ Saying NoName is pretty to an 11-year-old, lol.
└ Fact) It’s actually 10 years old.
[Heavenly Demon NoName raises funds, surpassing 5,000 trillion won, lol.]
In just an hour, 15,000 participants joined in!
[Comments]
– I’ve never heard the term ‘trillion’ in my life.
– I could buy 200 super-Earths outright!
– NoName is just a lucky freezer, huh?
– How did the CEO get addicted to dopamine, lol?
– Only 4 hours left until the Heavenly Demon Death Beam.
Gathering energy balls to turn one planet cluster into a wasteland is their reckless plan.
“Buster Call is so dope, right? Let’s go check it out, everyone!”
Blood was boiling in Han Yong-cheol’s chest.
[Han Yong-cheol]
[Just Chatting – NoName is firing the Heavenly Demon Death Beam]
[Broadcasting Time – 0:38:40]
[Number of Viewers – 20,482]
“How did you end up getting scammed? How did they even scam NoName? Seriously hit the wrong target…”
The chat window was ablaze once again.
– Even NoName can’t resist the limited edition King Ju God.
– Wow, how many spaceships are there, lol?
– Na-me got scammed by voice phishing and took back 1 trillion won from the scammer.
– Trash cans exist not to throw trash, but to put people in that NoName doesn’t like.
– NoName will end if you say sorry.
– This has nothing to do with it, lol.
– My heart feels so grand.
“Did you execute a march yesterday afternoon? NoName, back from abroad, absorbed content power, and no one can stop this…!”
Han Yong-cheol, reading the chat, and the viewers began to feel their hearts swell with excitement.
Now that all orders for the 14th day simulation are complete.
Reality time: 15 minutes, in-game time: 10 years ahead.
NoName’s spaceships declared they would conquer 88 solar systems.
In response, the Cluster Alliance mustered billions of soldiers to fortify their defenses.
Thoughts of “Do we really need to go this far for one scam?” didn’t have the time to settle in.
This war had already entered an irreversible stage.
Coordinates [X: 154,823 | Y: -24,109 | Z: 88,450] attracted spectators.
Among them, game streamers like Han Yong-cheol and already thousands had claimed their spots to watch the battle.
More than 40 of the 88 enemy players, who were going to face indiscriminate bombardment, were connected in real-time.
It was clear that Na-me’s declaration of war was like a bolt from the blue.
[ابن رونالدو: What did we do wrong to deserve this? You all will face divine punishment!]
[Isbjørnking: Dear NoName, please stop the attack. I have three children who desperately want a lightsaber item. If I return empty-handed, I will lose my family’s trust for life -]
[달콤냥: Has NoName really experienced getting hit by the Heavenly Demon Death Beam?]
– One person seems to have come just to enjoy it, what a crazy guy, lol.
– Was there a Korean among them, lol?
– What about people in the same village as the scammer; what’s their fault?
└ Life is all about luck. Don’t question getting struck by lightning while walking down the street.
– The Buster Call is insane, for real, lol.
– The creators of Star Front are probably laughing…
└ How likely is it that NoName will advertise their game?
└ They must have given quite a bit of money to VR SPACE as an event, and they’ll recover and profit from it.
As the launch time for the Heavenly Demon Death Beam drew near, suddenly the screen fell into silence.
Glowing softly as if holding moonlight, her blonde hair shone brightly.
The black armor showed a solid outline in the darkness.
A red cloak fluttered in the weightlessness.
[NoName]
– She is here…
– Whoa, isn’t this the Real Heavenly Demon…?
– I am the end of Shaolin!!!
– Every time I see her, she’s breathtakingly beautiful, lol.
NoName took a step forward and looked down over the battlefield filled with starlight.
Her face seemed slightly tormented.
She slowly raised her sword and said:
“Uh… scams are bad… If you’ve been involved in financial fraud, please contact 1332 without delay…”
– ?
– Huh?
– Huh?
– What?
– Ugh, childish humor, lol.
– A moment of hesitation in her lines, what a downvote, lol.
– 
Isn’t a 2 trillion short sale also financial fraud?
Inexplicably reminded of a public service announcement.
The beam of light forming at the tip of her sword synchronized with Na-me’s golden eyes, intensifying its glow.
Without saying another word, she swung the sword down vertically.
Shooowaaaahhh-
The moment the light bursting from the sword engulfed the battlefield.
– Woaaaah
– Whoa
– It begins!!!
– Are we having fireworks?!
The spaceships reacted in unison.
[Particle Beam Activated]
Lovelylovelyhappycat-!
– What even is that sound effect!
– No way, what the heck? lol.
– Happyhappycatcat~
– Never in my wildest expectations! lol.
With a short and loud warning sound, massive energy exploded from the battleships’ barrels.
A beam of light several kilometers in diameter sliced through the darkness.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa-!
The beam reached the planet’s surface, splitting it apart.
The atmosphere evaporated, the crust was ripped apart, and a massive crack began to spread.
A brilliant blue planet covered in black ash, dust, and magma.
Soon, the news broke that one player had been eliminated.
Meanwhile, in the middle of space, Na-me trembled, still holding her sword.
“How do I change the sound effect…?”
She covered her flushed cheeks with both hands and whispered to Luri.
[Luri: ······.]
“Hey, Luri?”
No matter how much she called, Luri didn’t respond.
“Waaaaaah!”
And naturally, Luri, watching from a distance, was also overwhelmed with unbearable shame and shrank back.
Cheon Saetbyeol muttered beside Luri like a monologue.
“Wow.”
*
A few days had passed since the VR SPACE event incident.
On a lazy weekend afternoon.
“Cheon Saetbyeol, what are you doing after class these days?”
I asked Saetbyeol about her recent activities.
“Just self-studying at a study cafe with friends. I’m hanging out with the second-best student in our class, haha.”
“And acting?”
“Taking a little break.”
“Isn’t the practical exam soon? Aren’t you worried?”
“No, I’m fine. It’s coming up in September.”
“Then you can try asking actor Ji Bo-hee for one-on-one acting lessons.”
I casually mentioned while hanging laundry with Luri.
“Well, that sounds good. Wait, the Ji Bo-hee you know?”
Lying on the sofa while scratching her belly, Saetbyeol perked up.
“Yeah. Director Jang Pyeong-sik gave me her contact. She’s been on break since last year, so if I ask nicely, she might agree.”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, that’s a bit sudden! Just because we ask doesn’t mean she’ll say yes, does it?”
“If you don’t want to, fine.”
“I want to! Please, I really want to!”
“Alright. Luri’s spot is open, so let’s hang two towels each.”
“Okay.”
After that, Luri noticeably reduced her capsule usage time.
It seemed she had been using virtual reality to obtain a spaceship.
Meanwhile, as the media cast the forbidden magic “The Coverage has Begun,” the scammer’s account was quickly apprehended.
“It was said that the scam method spread widely in the community and the number of victims reached triple digits.”
Ding!
“Wow! The event results are out, sister!”
“Really? It’s already 3 PM. Luri, what rank did you get?”
“I’ll check right now.”
Wiggling her little fingers, Luri logged into the VR SPACE website.
We all huddled together to check the results.
[#4 RuriBlack]
“Whoa…!”
“Ohhhhh! You got 4th place? That’s insane.”
Luri covered her mouth in astonishment.
Then her expression suddenly turned serious.
“With your help, this is the least I can do. I’ll aim for 1st place next time.”
With a sulky expression, she took her laundry basket and left the living room in a huff.
Swoosh-
The sound of the capsule opening reverberated from Saetbyeol’s room.
“Saetbyeol, let’s go check it out.”
“A spaceship firing happy cat beams? That sounds totally lame.”
“I told you, I didn’t set it up!”
