The Game Developer Who Left the Company Is Too Competent - Chapter 145



91. Optician’s choice

Overseas big tech companies also heard about the next-generation VR device from Nepple.

Representatives of each company who hastily visited Korea were excited and chattered.

“This is a game changer. Innovation. Actually, it’s a little late now, but there is still room to try your hand.”

“We need to secure technicians by any means. When that hits the market, our product is dead!”

“This is an amazing device that is way ahead of our technology!”

It was a lightning-fast situation for big tech companies, especially those that were aggressively developing the VR business even now.

A disastrous machine appeared without any warning.

Because it was a product that skipped several stages of their target step, they couldn’t help but feel impatient.

The money invested and the infrastructure that was painstakingly built were in a situation where they would be dumped into trash in an instant… … .

“Situational awareness is a priority. Shouldn’t you know what’s going on so that you can secure it or do something?”

Silicon Valley is starting to move.

“Let’s gather information as soon as possible.

It wasn’t too difficult to find information about opticians and mirror companies.

Silicon Valley big tech companies who grasped the situation were astonished.

“This is the Korean genius boy ‘Ahn’!”

“The genius who participated in the world hacking competition at a young age and won the world hacking contest alone, not as a team, and participated in a huge project, is the developer!”

The big tech companies were the main figures they were already aware of.

optician.

He was a genius boy who was nicknamed ‘Genius Ahn’ in Silicon Valley at the time.

“No, not that much time has passed since then… … Did you really develop this amazing device by yourself?”

“I can’t believe it… … .”

“At some point, the contact network was cut off and there was no news, so I forgot about it… … You grew up to be a terrifying talent!”

Then it is.

There was no way a genius capable of creating such an amazing device would suddenly drop from the sky.

Big tech companies moving Silicon Valley nodded.

Other information continued to arrive.

It was already a hot issue in Korea, so it wasn’t too difficult to find information.

It is said that he developed a device by himself shortly after attending KAIST.

It is said that he joined hands with Yoo Tae-yeon, a genius game developer who has now emerged as an issue in the game world around the world.

Yoo Tae-yeon and Angyeong-won joined hands and jointly founded the IT company Mirror Company.

A doubt arises here.

“Wasn’t there already Seosung NG, a conglomerate that was deeply involved in the VR and AR business in Korea? Why did you team up with Nepple CEO Yu Tae-yeon, the CEO of a game company, and not them?”

Exactly this.

Seosung Electronics and NG Electronics, two conglomerates who are fixed at the 1st and 2nd place in the Korean business world.

Even in the global IT market, there are already two giant groups that have tremendous competitiveness, and although they say they have withdrawn from the market, they retain their infrastructure, capabilities, and development know-how. The withdrawal was not a complete withdrawal from the business, but a preparation process for innovation in a different form.

If it were them, they would have given great treatment and full support.

But why wasn’t it Nepple’s Yoo Tae-yeon instead of them?

Doubts about this soon became apparent.

-I really like games, but I started with this project because I wanted to make a virtual reality game with my own hands that I had only seen in media. And the game developer who impressed me the most was PD Yoo Tae-yeon.

In an interview with a media outlet, Angyeong-won revealed this directly.

Silicon Valley big tech companies took it as follows.

“Game was the main keyword!”

“In order to win the hearts of opticians, we just need to prove that we have a much higher vision and level of game than a company like Nexle.”

“When it comes to games, our company is second to none. Nexple is said to have been recognized by Mercury Games, but it’s just a company that made a lot of money as a publisher. not the developer Nexple is just starting to get attention.”

“We are overwhelming when it comes to game infrastructure!”

Silicon Valley is starting to move.

***

Recently, with the help of Taeyeon, the optician moved to a new apartment in Gangnam with good security and well-established infrastructure.

“Can we live in such a nice place?”

“It’s nice to have a good son.”

It was nice to see my parents happy, but on the other hand, I was puzzled.

‘Did I have to go this far?’

The apartment I lived in before was also a good enough place.

By the standards of opticians, that was the case.

However, Taeyeon seemed to have a different idea.

– Not here. We need a more secure place than this.

Then, he found this apartment and moved into it.

It was not an old security guard, but an apartment managed by a well-known private security company. Entrepreneurs, politicians, celebrities… … It was also a place where many famous people lived.

When I first looked up the sale price of the apartment on the Internet, I was shocked… … I felt the true value of it the day after I moved in.

Han River view from now on. Gangnam city view in the back.

Five rooms, three bathrooms, terrace… … etc.

Everything was top notch and didn’t even need an interior.

‘When I asked what the hell was going on, they all smiled meaningfully, saying there was a way.’

Of course, it wouldn’t be illegal.

For that part, it is known that he is clean at the level of mysticism.

Anyway, this alone made it possible to know how much Taeyeon cared about and treated her.

But this is not the end.

-I try to live first, and if I see a lacking part, I try to fill it up gradually.

Is there really anything lacking?

The optician said that this consideration was not simply to give ‘treatment’. soon found out

‘hmm?’

early morning on the way to work.

Several men were standing in front of an underground parking lot.

Among them, a middle-aged man elegantly dressed in a luxury suit approaches and talks to them.

“Are you Mr. Ahn Kyung-won?”

“yes. however… … Who are you?”

“I am such a person.”

Six colorful letters written on a white background.

[Google]

The middle-aged man smiled and said at the surprised expression of the glasses-won.

“Could you please give me a minute?”

***

It was the story as expected.

‘We are the best in the world when it comes to virtual reality research.’

‘Not only that, but we also built a lot of know-how and infrastructure for games, and that effort is still going on.’

‘If you want to properly implement virtual reality games that appear in the media, Google is the best choice.’

‘Let’s join us.’

The proposal was also unconventional.

– Willing to invest $3 billion per year.

“… … !”

$3 billion per year, not the final investment amount!

Silicon Valley Big Tech Companies. Among them, it was a possible proposal because it was Google, which ran at the top.

In addition, salary, house, secretary, dedicated office, US green card, citizenship support, etc.

They promised great benefits right on the spot.

“Contact me anytime.”

There will be no more suggestions than this.

So confident, the Google negotiator left.

Before the surprise was over, another company representative came to visit.

“Do you remember who I am? Has Genius Ahn ever participated in a project at the head office in the past? At that time, I was in charge of the inside… … .”

“ah!”

It wasn’t that long ago, so he was someone I remembered clearly.

“You were the project leader who was involved at the time, right? Jacob. He took me everywhere, showed me a lot of good places, and bought me a lot of delicious things!”

The story of old memories has begun.

what was fun embarrassing things, etc.

he asks a question

“Then why did you suddenly lose contact? As far as I know, not only our company, but all Silicon Valley big tech companies that knew An wanted An, so I remember making a big offer at the time.”

The optician answered with a slight smile.

“Jacob. You treated me kindly and affectionately as if you were my own blood, but not everyone was like that. In fact, the food and the environment surrounding me… … Everyone was heterogeneous. I missed my good friends in Korea, and I missed my mother, grandmother and grandfather who wanted to see me every time we were on video calls.”

“ah… … .”

“That’s it. No matter how talented I may have been, as a person, I was just an ordinary Korean child. I love games, I love my friends and family… … .”

He wasn’t just a genius, he was such a genius that big tech companies took part in their projects.

A hacking competition in which over a thousand teams participated.

The child who shocked the scene by proving his tremendous genius through a solo appearance was not just good at hacking and programming.

genius engineer.

He was an all-around boy that could only be dealt with in American superhero comics.

“It seems like a lot happened in a place I don’t know about.”

“It is not as serious an issue as you are concerned about. If I had been a mature adult, I could have handled it wisely and laughed it off.”

It was only harsh on the boy.

Deciding not to ask any further, Jacob got down to business.

“We will provide $5 billion annually.”

“… … !”

“likewise… … .”

Several.

After making great suggestions, he stood up and offered a handshake. When the optician holds her hand, she smiles.

“Don’t think too hard. Even if An rejects this job, I still want to be friends with An. It bothered me that I couldn’t say thank you back then… … Do you remember my daughter?”

“Cassio? Of course I remember! How are you doing?”

“Sometimes we talk about the inside. Thanks to Ahn, I became a game maniac.”

“is it so? hahahaha, I miss you. He was such a cute and lovely child… … .”

Jacob said with a soft smile.

“By the way, the project that An participated in has now become another flagship project of our Microsoft. And now I am serving as Vice President.”

“ah… … !”

“Please contact me when it is convenient for you. I don’t know what it will be about, but I’ll be happy to wait for your phone call.”

***

Since then, all sorts of companies have come and made great suggestions.

Some of them even proposed a $10 billion investment.

It was none other than Mercury Games.

This giant company, which boasts the world’s No. 1 market capitalization, surprised opticians with bets that overwhelmed other competitors.

At this point, even the glasses store was shaken.

I couldn’t help but be human.

Money is money, but he thought that with them, he might be able to achieve his dreams faster and more accurately.

They didn’t seem to care about the existence of the Mirror Company co-founded with Taeyeon.

It meant that it was not a job to solve such a thing.

It was not unreasonable since they were places that prided themselves on having the most money in the world.

‘Even money as well as power.’

went to work at the company

Coincidentally, Taeyeon was there, wearing goggles and pretending to tap the keyboard in the air.

It looked like it was working on something.

‘… … You know what I’m in these days, but you never mention it.’

There were times when I wondered if I really knew my life situation, or if I didn’t know.

After thinking about it, I approached and talked to him.

“brother. I have something I want to say… … .”

The titles of the two were arranged as older brother and younger brother.

There is a lot of time to be together in the future, and more than anything, the optician wanted it. Deep down, since I was little, I wanted to have an older brother who was reliable and dependable, and Taeyeon fit that ideal perfectly.

“hmm? What is it?”

Taeyeon stops moving and looks at herself through the goggles, pretending to draw a line with her right index finger.

“Previously… … What were you doing?”

“I was testing the OS.”

“What OS?”

“This machine operating system. I applied what I made while studying myself as a test.”

The optician blinked his eyes.

“… … You said your brother made an operating system?”

“You came just fine. Test it out and give me some feedback.”

Then, Taeyeon handed over the goggles.

The glasses shop receives it with a bewildered feeling and wears it.

– Ppogeul ppogeul

“… … !”

Bubbles rise, and the field of view gradually lowers, and the next moment.

“ah… … !”

A panoramic view of the beautiful undersea kingdom unfolds.

Based on the fantasy kingdom of the Middle Ages, a new world created using the ecosystem in the sea!

Giant conch, seashells, etc.

The materials that make up the outer wall make up the palace in a cute and charming way.

-Titling!

From nob le mt l dot com

Mysterious bells resonated everywhere, and at the same time I felt something pulling me sharply.

The place unfolded again is inside the palace… … A magnificent space that is assumed to be.

In the front, a huge statue of a mermaid was proud of its majesty with a trident in its eyes.

Immediately, the eyes of the mermaid statue flashed, and hologram-type icons were arranged in front of them.

‘Oh my God, directing the OS is like some kind of game… … .’

The thing is, this is damn good!

From nob le mt l dot com

Madly stimulated the heart of the game otaku optician!

The optician, who was testing this and that, hurriedly took off his VR goggles and asked.

“Did you really make this? Graphics, directing, composition… … Program, everything, everything?”

“Well, actually, some of the graphic resources were borrowed from Pantheon. There is an undersea kingdom map there.”

“ah… … .”

“Other than that, I made up the rest. I thought a normal OS wouldn’t be fun, so I tried to give it a virtual reality game feel, how about it?”

“… … .”

A shudder flowed.

He was well aware that he was a genius game developer.

Also, after meeting him, he is diligently researching virtual reality and related devices.

But in a short amount of time, he did an amazing job.

At this level, it was necessary to see that Taeyeon’s genius was not limited to games.

The optician stuttered.

“It’s not that there isn’t something to be improved on… … No, actually there are quite a few, but for the first time, this is great. Most of all, I like the directing.”

At this moment, all worries disappeared from my mind.

‘Where do you go after leaving your best partner?’

What about money problems… … We can fill it up as we grow together!

An unexpected surprise gift!

In the mind of an optician who had completely passed over, suggestions from Silicon Valley big tech companies were already erased.

“Didn’t you say there was something you wanted to do?”

“Is that important now? Come quickly! As for this part, how to fix this part… … .”

equal genius.

No, maybe even more!

After confirming that fact, Angyeongwon began to feel a strong bond with Taeyeon.

‘okay. The place I should be is right next to this hyung. Let’s not shake any more.’

Afterwards, the optician was excited and held on to Taeyeon, teaching her various things and starting to make an OS together.

A huge innovation brought by smartphones!

Something that might surpass it was about to begin.
