40. Luck (3)

The results of the fight at the bottom are as follows.

1. M Nine is doing well (23 votes, 26%)

2. Skeleton is good (55 votes, 74%)

It’s my victory.

The reaction was mixed.

unicorn18 : Oh yeah! My body is shaking! (@@ ) ( @@)(@@ )( @@)

keystone: This unicorn kid can’t even do the typing dance properly…

Anonymous848: ??? Was that a skeleton woman? (bewildered)

ㅇㅇ: Oh, you’re hitting me? Show me your face too.

Anonymous458: Isn’t this impersonation?

Dies_irae69 : ?

kimcic : wow

gijayangban : Huh?

Defender: Oh, you know how to have fun?

COOKIEMONSTER18: WHAT THE….

…

…

The world is really small.

Who would have thought that the sniper mother and daughter would see this again.

“Skeleton? Skeleton? Alive?!”

Rebecca guy. Have you been around the Korean bulletin boards too?

Sudo also participated in the war as a bonus.

Message from COOKIEMONSTER18: (Me swoosh!) Who is that skeleton girl?

SKELTON: (Skeleton hit) Shh! I’ll explain later.

“Don’t worry, I’m alive. I just called my friend because I had some trouble.”

I cleared up the misunderstanding through the Internet and radio at the same time and checked the reactions on the bulletin board.

ㅇㅇ: What? I came here in a hurry because I heard there was a pretty girl on Viva!, but it’s a girl who hasn’t even shown her face?

ㅇㅇ: After analyzing the video source, it’s from before the war? It’s just a fake. A fake.

Hoyoung’s mom: Looking at how split your fingernails are, I think it’s probably a picture taken just now.

foxgames: It looks like they’ve touched it, but I’m not sure about the video!

keystone: Skeleton, that little bastard, no matter how thirsty for popularity you are, honestly, don’t you think it’s a bit much to imitate a woman?

ㅇㅇ: What? Was it Netkama? That skeleton kid?

…

…

As expected.

The flow went in the direction that my brother Defender and I had predicted.

Now people are confused about the identity of another country called Skeleton.

Some people know the truth, but their truth is not 100% accepted by people.

After all, people tend to believe what they want to believe.

It’s called confirmation bias.

The reason why M9 showed no interest in this fight is also related to such confirmation bias.

He was in Palenet.

In another battlefield where different confirmation biases collide, called the “Jeju Island Bulletin Board.”

*

This is Palenet’s hot place that instantly rose from the top 40 to the top of the bulletin board after the government announced its Jeju Island evacuation plan.

It was none other than Unicorn18 who reported the news that M9 was playing on this Jeju Island bulletin board.

Message from unicorn18: Nuna! This little m9 is trolling on a place called the Jeju Island bulletin board!

“······.”

Knock knock

SKELTON: Thank you~~♥

Message from unicorn18: Ta-da!

I think it was around that time that the Defender siblings fled from my bunker.

“Okay, I’ll come next time.”

“Skeleton. Don’t get too caught up in the internet.”

After they left, I searched what M9 was doing on the Jeju Island bulletin board.

There was no need to search for it.

MMMMMMMMM: Defeating that beggar son! Yes, next one!

It’s been a mess since the first page!

I took a quick look around the bulletin board to check out the atmosphere.

The Jeju Island bulletin board was literally a battlefield.

The entire bulletin board was divided into two groups: those who believed that the refugee fleet would arrive safely on Jeju Island and receive the services the government had promised, and those who believed that the refugee fleet would sink and drown in the sea.

Maybe I’m partly responsible for this fight.

I felt a sense of responsibility and carefully considered their opinions.

ㅇㅇ: Jeju Island? Who would believe such nonsense?

ㅇㅇ: You still believe in the government, lol. You should support the pioneers instead. They’ll at least give you guns.

ㅇㅇ: It’s a place where only Awakens can go. Even the old-fashioned hunters who were in the National Assembly were kicked out and became beggars, so they’re going to accept ordinary people well, right? Right?

ㅇㅇ: (verification) I’m a former member of the National Assembly, Hunter. Wake up from this dream.

The deniers each put forth their own arguments, arguing that the Jeju fleet would be impossible to realize.

ㅇㅇ: Go your way~

ㅇㅇ: Those damned bastards. You used to pray for the downfall of the country, but now you’re praying for the sinking of a poor ship. It’s so shameful.

ㅇㅇ: Beggars. Just get out. Don’t climb up.

MMMMMMMMM : Phew!

On the other hand, the positivists did not even listen to the opinions of the negators and unilaterally criticized them because they attributed the inferiority complex of those who did not have the opinions of the negators.

It was none other than our M9 that was showing the most impressive performance in this ugly battlefield.

MMMMMMMMM: (Presidential residence) Take this! Authentication attack!

Although he may have a somewhat underrated background as a Viva! Apocalypse! user, his survival skills and topicality that allowed him to survive for several long months in the death residence called The Hope were enough to make M9 the most influential user on the message board.

MMMMMMMMM: Hey. Where did that little punk from the Hunter go? He seems to be an old-school hunter living in a shantytown. If you ask him to prove what level he is, he absolutely can’t do it, right? Haha.

It was the trend of the times for him, who had both topicality and fighting power, to become a Pale Net named person.

ㅇㅇ: Wow… M9 Ham Cida~

ㅇㅇ: Ma! You little punks! Did you hear what our M9 ham said?

ㅇㅇ: What kind of muscle is our M9 type’s muscle? It’s the actual tension contraction muscle that was trained for survival on the 45-degree tilted The Hope!

…

…

Every time M9 said a word, countless optimists would swarm him with praise.

Intoxicated by this, M9 now tried to imitate the wise man.

MMMMMMMMM : (M9) Friends. The weather is really nice! (431)

-Isn’t May the queen of seasons?

A person’s heart depends on his or her mind.

Don’t be jealous, don’t be envious, and always be grateful!

I ate a piece of spam today.

It’s salty. Isn’t this what life tastes like?

Salty and savory taste.

Cheer up everyone! There’s not much left!

“······What.”

There are four hundred comments on a crappy article with no content.

I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I posted a message on the bulletin board,

Yeah: I’m really close to Eomchang. (1)

-They say hundreds of Chinese submarines are waiting off Yeonpyeong Island, catching crabs and eating them!

I was miserably ignored.

“······.”

This is the expected result.

Now is the time for M9.

He had concrete hopes, while we had nothing.

What this means is that even if we, who have nothing, criticize reality and rationally analyze the situation, to people like M9, it only sounds like the cries of beggars.

It’s a shame, but if the M9 is to fall here, we have no choice but to wait for the situation itself to change.

Didn’t Woo Min-hee say that?

The Jeju fleet is a lie.

She said that the real people who will go to Jeju Island are the boys and girls with the aptitude for being away from home that she has selected.

And by plane, not by boat!

But my expectations and the situation gradually became more favorable to the optimists.

The government continued to disclose information on the safety of the route, the schedule for housing distribution, job distribution and income provision, and special benefits for winners, and in response, the situation in Jeju Island and the cargo loading status of the evacuation fleet were uploaded in real time.

There probably aren’t many people who would deny that Koreans are one of the most intelligent people in the world.

Don’t they say that when foreigners come, the first thing they learn is to hurry, hurry.

People moved quickly.

The second-hand trading bulletin board, which usually ranked in the top 10, suddenly rose sharply in the rankings, surpassing the Jeju Island bulletin board to take first place.

ㅇㅇ: I’m buying a ticket to Jeju Island.

Hyukjae’s father: Is it possible to exchange a house for sale in Jeju Island?

Marisol232: I have a bunker. I would like to exchange it for a house in Jeju Island. If you want, I can show you the bunker.

Seoul Building Owner: I have a building in Seoul. It is a building that is still registered, and there are no problems with the building structure or function. I want to exchange it for a house in Jeju Island.

00: I’m a 15 year old male. I don’t have a family. I don’t want anything else. Could you please take me to Jeju Island with my family? I will repay your kindness with my whole life.

…

…

Everyone wants a ticket to Jeju Island.

Just like Kim Da-ram, all the surviving citizens now desperately yearned for Jeju Island.

That great hope became a current that swallowed up, one by one, those who were not swept away by the current.

“······.”

Even I was shaken.

I heard the truth from Woo Min-hee, but I think that in fact, Woo Min-hee lied and that the current trend that the government is announcing and people are following is the real truth.

In fact, after about three days, the deniers who remained on the Jeju Island bulletin board completely disappeared.

It looks like the final victory for the optimists, led by the M9.

At that glorious moment, the hero of the positivists, M9, somehow remained silent.

The positivists’ club, which they used to beat up deniers with every passing day, suddenly disappeared.

While everyone was wondering what was going on with him, an unexpected person sent me a message.

Message from MMMMMMMMM: Skeleton? Hello?

It’s M9.

Why on earth did this kid text me?

I replied with a bad feeling.

SKELTON: Hello~♥

But when I think about it carefully, this thing called M9.

The woman revealed.

Apparently, this guy was talking nonsense when there was a pretty girl lining up to move to The Hope.

As expected.

Message from MMMMMMMMM: Skeleton, are you a girl?

It’s exactly as I thought.

Message from MMMMMMMMM: I saw the video, right? That one?

SKELTON : Oh my

Message from MMMMMMMMM: I can’t tell because your face is covered, but you look pretty? And your body is my style?

Message from MMMMMMMMM: I forgive you for your sins lol

How can a person be so transparent?

Message from MMMMMMMMM: Will you come to Jeju Island with me? Okay? You can bring a girl with you?

“······.”

It is said that dragons usually have one reverse scale.

There seem to be a few more people.

I typed on the keyboard with indescribable disgust and anger.

Knock knock! Knock!

SKELTON: Get out you fucking bitch!!!

This is the afterlife of my soul

I didn’t know it at the time.

Could this little incident be a foreshadowing of the ending that is about to happen?

*

MMMMMMMMM : Damn it’s all gone······

M9, who left us after becoming a great figure, has returned to our small bulletin board.

MMMMMMMMM: I got scammed by a snake······. I got completely robbed. My ticket, the official residence lottery ticket······.

At first everyone thought he was joking.

I thought M9 was casting Fishing to play a prank on us.

No, why would you forget that?

Moreover, M9 was living under the protection of soldiers in a safe house provided to winners of Jeju Island tickets next to the Incheon pier, not in The Hope.

It’s hard to believe that he would lose the things he treasured most.

gijayangban: What on earth would you do to get robbed there?

The moment I read the reporter’s article, I had a feeling I knew what happened to M9.

“no way?”

MMMMMMMMM: No, that’s it. Shit, I was looking for a woman to live with······.

I once saw a nature documentary about a certain African bird that builds an ornate nest to woo a female.

M9 also became one of those birds and it seems that it actively seeks out a mate by sticking its face out here and there.

The text you sent me was part of that grand reproductive effort.

But in this dangerous world, finding a companion is not an easy task.

Especially to a small-minded person like M9 who has no eye for people.

From what I’ve heard, it seems that one of M9’s followers approached him, claiming to be a secretly attractive woman, and made an appointment to meet with M9, taking all of his greatest wealth.

He said that he was beaten so badly that his nose was crooked during the process of having his residency rights taken away, even though he didn’t submit the certification.

I appealed to the government, but there was no way the government would do anything for him, who ignored government warnings and took away valuable tickets and residence certificates.

Our warm bulletin board users consoled him, saying that it was fortunate that he did not die.

Anonymous848: Cheer up, Mgu.

Dolsingnam: Have you seen the curse?

RokaGG: I’m just grateful to be alive.

Foxgames: Where did you get the mountain? Welcome back!

Dies_irae69: If you have no place to live, join us.

…

…

It’s been a while since I’ve seen this bulletin board.

I also thought about it for a while and then decided to lend my heart as one of the bulletin board users.

SKELTON: Cheer up······.

It was a bit of a hassle to type.

After the wave of support passed, m9 posted a message.

mmmmmmmm : Thank you all······.

The sight reminded me of an actor leaving the stage alone.

So it seemed he was returning to “The Hope,” his only refuge.

But M9 was a stronger man than we thought.

Knock knock

A new denier has appeared on the Jeju Island bulletin board.

The identity of the denier was surprisingly m9, the positivist’s club.

mmmmmmmmm: 3,238 Chinese submarines are currently waiting in the waters off Incheon, eating crabs from Yeonpyeong Island!

Inside the slanted apartment, m9 is fighting a lonely battle with the positivists even at this moment.

mmmmmmmmm : Gulp!

I wish him new luck.
