<Mushin Returns to Level 2 Episode 478>
Withdrawal from Battle.net.
This topic that appeared after Seong Ji-han broke the underworld.
Even after the broadcast ended, the story continued.
[Humanity’s losses from entering Battle.net]
-Population decline due to dungeon portals (estimated 10-20 percent)
-Failed countries (ex: North Korea)
-Logistics damage due to occupation of dungeon portal.
-Harmful fighting games have taken over broadcasting channels without permission, leading to an increase in youth violence.
-A class emerges between players and non-players, and the gap deepens.
There are countless ways in which Battle.net has had a negative impact on peaceful human society.
Are you going to give up your peaceful daily life because of the evolution of your species?
-Yes, I can live another 100 years~
-Actually, the author of this article also broadcasts on Battle Tube lol.
-If Seong Ji-han wasn’t the manager, honestly, I would have voted for withdrawal, but why do we have to leave when we can just suck it up now?
-ㄹㅇ You have to trust the manager and evolve steadily;
There was a lot of controversy related to this in the Battle.net community, but the general trend of public opinion was focused on remaining in Battle.net.
Before Seong Ji-han’s appearance, the world of the tutorial period clearly gave people a sense of crisis.
Since he became active, humanity has been able to experience firsthand the positive aspects of Battle.net.
The benefits that Seong Ji-han brought were spread across many fields.
What was felt most by the general public was the improvement in health.
There is talk that life expectancy will almost double, and there are even predictions that the medical and pharmaceutical industries are faltering.
The impact of racial evolution on society was significant.
“There are many people who want Battle.net to remain.”
“yes. Public opinion in most, if not all, countries is in favor of retaining Battle.net. “Public opinion supporting Seong Ji-han is overwhelming.”
Basement conference room of the Gates Building, USA.
All heads of companies leading the Gates Group gathered together and held an emergency meeting regarding the withdrawal from Battle.net.
“If it were me, I would support him. “When I went from being in a wheelchair to walking, dancing came naturally.”
“Is there anyone here who has not benefited from the castle? “Everyone seems to have looked 10 or 20 years younger.”
“No matter how cutting-edge medical technology was, it was impossible to turn back time. “It just prevented aging.”
“Well, because of that, our bio company’s stock price plummeted… … Personally, I am satisfied. “It’s something we will live to see for a long time.”
The leaders of the Gates family have enjoyed the benefits of racial evolution.
Even business owners whose pharmaceutical companies were destroyed were welcoming the life extension effect with open arms.
The effects of racial evolution were given equally to everyone, regardless of rich or poor.
Unlike the poor who had no health, the rich who had no health were feeling the benefits of this species evolution more fully.
However, these capitalists also had some downsides.
“It is a red flag that the existing system is shaken by Battle.net.”
“The influence of players is expanding day by day.”
“you’re right. “Compared to the tutorial, the powers they can use in the real world have become stronger.”
“In countries with poor security, it is not uncommon to find cases where players rule like kings.”
“Now you can hire them with money… but…” … .”
“Over time, additional power will pass from capital to players.”
A player whose influence has grown since Battle.net entered the mainstream game.
They had power and had popular influence through BattleTube. He also had considerable wealth.
Even in the case of the United States, it was the Gates family that funded the operation of the first guild, American First.
The actual power was increasingly being taken by the affiliated players.
“If humanity continues to remain on Battle.net, the power structure will be shaken by the highly random ‘gift’.”
“The Gates family’s wealth may also become dependent on the players.”
“Actually, doesn’t Barron on American First show any signs of that? “That guy keeps coveting real power.”
“Don’t even talk. Why is this young guy so greedy? … .”
“It is good to extend lifespan, but it is not desirable for this system to continue… … .”
There is nothing more threatening to those in power than having their power shaken.
Members of the Gates family enjoyed the evolution effect, but had negative thoughts about remaining on Battle.net.
“We need to change the trend of public opinion.”
“I need to spread the word about the negative aspects of remaining on Battle.net.”
“hmm. Since the species evolution effect is so great, it doesn’t seem easy to sway public opinion… … .”
“How about doing it this way?”
Robert Gates, who attended the meeting, looked around the audience and opened his mouth.
“We are trying to turn public opinion toward leaving Battlenet, while at the same time asking Seong Ji-han to come up with a solution.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“We are asking you to find a way to leave Battle.net while maintaining the evolution effect.”
“No, that’s best, but… … .”
“Is it going to be just the way you want it to be?”
“He’s a manager, he’s a hell-wrecker. “Isn’t there a way?”
Would that happen?
Looking at the questioning family members, Robert Gates grinned.
“As always. Let’s ask him to do it again this time. We should not come out in the open, but hide behind public opinion… … .”

A few days later.
“There are a lot of articles like this these days… … .”
“What article?”
Yoon Se-ah, who was sitting on the sofa, showed the screen to Seong Ji-han’s question.
“Articles related to incidents where players caused problems.”
On the news screen that Yoon Se-ah is watching.
While it is said to be the life and death of Battle.net, there were several articles coming up about incidents and accidents caused by players.
“He committed all kinds of crimes, from serial killers to kidnappings to drug trafficking.”
“It is not easy for public authorities to crack down on players.”
“I know. Our country has good security, so it’s okay, but a country with bad security is not a problem… … .”
Meanwhile, Yoon Se-ah was scrolling down.
“But it seems like articles like this have skyrocketed since my uncle mentioned leaving Battle.net.”
“okay?”
“huh. “I feel this way when I watch the news occasionally, so wouldn’t other people feel that way more?”
Then, let’s open the news reply window.
The reply with the most likes was visible.
-Players have a lot of problems… … Is it possible to leave Battle.net while maintaining the evolution effect?
└ Seong Ji-han will do it.
└ Are you a Holy Land limit player?
└ You are the administrator, there must be a way!
└ This time too, ‘Do it.’
“… … What should I do every day? “They are too greedy.”
Seeing Seong Ji-han’s reaction to asking her to solve the problem, Yoon Se-ah frowned.
“You want to maintain the evolution bonus, but you want to leave Battle.net?”
“The player is the problem. It’s too much. what… … It would be a lie to say that it doesn’t exist at all. “There are too many articles like this these days.”
Seong Ji-han thought while looking at the article about players causing problems.
‘It used to be a more lawless place.’
In my last life, I was a top player because of Dungeon Portal.
Later, even if he committed murder, he easily avoided legal punishment.
When I think about the world back then, it is heaven now.
The gap between players and non-players will be as wide as it was then.
“There are many players who are doing good deeds… … really.”
Seong Ji-han said while looking at her pouting lips.
“What do you want to do?”
“me?”
“uh. Since I became the manager, you are the number one player in name and reality. “It can be said to be the player’s greatest vested interest.”
“No, it could even be called a vested interest… … no. Yes, is that right?”
Yoon Se-ah scratched her cheek and said.
“It’s a bit disappointing for me, but I think it’s better to stay out of Battle.net than to get involved with it.”
“okay? Because the players are the problem?”
“no. Rather than because of this problem… … “It’s no joke to see the opponents fighting with your uncle, but if you mess up for no reason, a lot of people could die.”
“I’ve been lucky so far.”
“that’s right. The same thing happened when I climbed the Tower of Babel in the middle of Seolleung. Same thing with the Underworld last time. “When something happens on Battle.net, the scale is different.”
Seong Ji-han nodded.
So far, I’ve been lucky enough to have prevented an accident from happening.
This kind of luck couldn’t last forever.
Before anything happens later, it would be better for humanity to cut ties with Battle.net.
‘I can’t keep messing with you forever.’
Seong Ji-han said that humanity should withdraw from Battle.net.
I was thinking clearly.
“Still. You can’t do this to your uncle. In the first place, I was going to skip the evolution bonus… … “Isn’t this impossible?”
“Hmm, wait a minute.”
Seong Ji-han opened the humanity management section after hearing Yoon Se-ah’s words and asked the system.
“Can humanity maintain its current capabilities even after leaving Battle.net?”
[You can maintain it when you enable ‘permanent preservation of abilities.’]
“How much permission does it cost?”
[When all abilities are permanently preserved, 100 million are consumed.]
“… … 1 million? “What do you hear so much about?”
[The growth of the race ‘Humanity’ is large, and it is receiving the attention of all administrators, so more administrator authority is needed.]
Even though we destroyed the Underworld and drove out the Red Manager, they are still paying attention.
‘This time, the stat grade was upgraded, and the authority was converted to only +100 per day… … .’
When Blue was at FFF level, authority was reduced by -50 per day due to the distortion of other stats.
As the Blue House rose to Grade A, the amount of authority acquired also increased.
Administrator privileges now accumulate +100 per day.
but.
To obtain 100 million rights, a million days would have to pass at this rate.
‘Of course, if you give up all other stats, the amount of authority gained will increase… … There’s no need to push yourself that hard.’
I don’t know if I have any authority left over.
It was difficult to raise the flag, so I had no intention of sacrificing myself like that for humanity.
“Currently, they say it will take a million days to kill two birds with one stone.”
“One million days… … uh. “I checked the calculator and it says 2739?”
“okay. “Just don’t even dream about it.”
“I know… … .”
When Yoon Se-ah agrees with Seong Ji-han’s words, saying that she thought it wouldn’t work.
[Jihan, Sophia came to visit.]
Seong Ji-ah floated over and approached Seong Ji-han and spoke to him.
“Sophia? “It’s been a while.”
“Oh, I heard you went to America to see Sofia’s parents… … “I guess he returned home today.”
Let Yoon Se-ah get up from the sofa with a happy expression.
Seong Ji-ah spoke in a calm voice.
[however… … Probably Sophia. I don’t think she’s who she originally was.]
“What are you talking about?”
[I feel Shinan’s presence in her.]
Flashing.
Then, Seong Ji-ah remembers the eyes of light.
“that’s right.”
Jerk. Jerk.
Sophia came into the house with a serious face, different from usual.
On his forehead, he flashed a divine eye similar to the one that Seong Ji-ah had in mind.
“I borrowed her for a moment.”
Among humans, there are only two who have divine eyes.
Seong Ji-han looked at the light with sinking eyes.
“… … you. “Are you Pythia?”
“yes. “I have something to tell you.”
