Episode 18 – A Reader's Fight (3)
第十八集-读者之战(3)
I looked at the system messages that appeared after Myung Ilsang's death. He left this world with just a few lines of messages.
我看了明一生死后出现的系统信息。他离开这个世界时只留下了几行字。
[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is satisfied.]
[《金发囚徒》星座满意。]
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' nods with slight discontent.]
[神秘的密谋者星座略带不满地点点头]
[The constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' is greatly pleased with your story] [Someone has recommended your scenario to the Star Stream.]
[星座‘魔鬼般的火之审判者’对你的故事非常满意][有人向星流推荐了你的剧本]
[25,000 coins have been sponsored.]
[已赞助了25,000枚硬币]
I got up and slowly looked around.
我站起来，慢慢地环顾四周。
Gangdong-gu was ruined. The disaster had only briefly passed but the ground was destroyed and the tall buildings collapsed.
港东区被毁了，灾难只是短暂地过去了，但是地面被毁了，高楼倒塌了。
On the road lit by the glow of the sunset, people covered with black dust crawled out. They were all people who ran here to obtain items. People who wanted to be the protagonist but had to remain as 'characters.'
在落日余晖照亮的道路上，满身黑色尘土的人们爬了出来。他们都是跑到这里来拿东西的人。那些想成为主角但又不得不保留角色的人
Some people held their injuries while others wiped their tears. I could also see people bowing down to me. However, most people were lying on the ground as cold bodies.
一些人忍着伤口，而另一些人则擦干眼泪。我还能看到人们向我鞠躬。然而，大多数人都躺在地上冰冷的尸体。
I had read all of Ways of Survival. I understood the settings, the meaning of the explanations and finally thought that I had figured out the author's intentions. But in Ways of Survival, there were no sentences describing these deaths.
我读过所有的生存之道。我理解了背景，理解了解释的含义，最终认为我已经明白了作者的意图。但在《生存之道》一书中，没有描述这些死亡的句子。
I turned and saw Yoo Jonghyuk watching the same scene as me. Perhaps Yoo Jonghyuk had seen this scene alone many times.
我转过身，看到柳钟玉和我看着同样的场景。也许柳钟玉已经独自看过这个场景很多次了。
"Yoo Jonghyuk." He turned to look at me. I rolled the words around the tip of my tongue for a bit before shutting my mouth. "…It is nothing."
“柳永玉。”他转过身来看着我。我把这些话在舌尖上绕了一会儿才闭上嘴。”......没什么。”
The scenarios would continue in the future and I would see this moment many times. I would encounter scenes that weren't expressed in the text several times.
这样的场景在未来还会继续，我会多次看到这样的时刻。我会遇到一些文本中没有表达出来的场景。
Then a translucent window appeared in front of me and I heard an unexpected message.
然后一个半透明的窗户出现在我面前，我听到了一个意想不到的消息。
[The dokkaebi 'Dokgak' has invited you to his channel.] …Who was inviting me to a channel? I was confused for a moment but decided to ignore it. Then the message flashed again.
[dokkaebi‘Dokgak’已经邀请你到他的频道。]谁邀请我去看电视？我困惑了一会儿，但决定忽略它。然后信息再次闪现。
[The dokkaebi 'Dokgak' has invited you to his channel.]
[dokkaebi‘Dokgak’已经邀请你到他的频道。]
I looked up at the air and saw one dokkaebi looking down at this side. It was a one-legged dokkaebi with an unpleasant smile. Bihyung was behind him with a terrible expression and looked between us. There was a gap even among dokkaebis of the same rank.
我抬头望着天空，看到一只多卡比正在俯视着这一边。那是一只独腿的dokkaebi，带着令人不悦的微笑。比亨在他身后，脸上带着可怕的表情，朝我们中间望去。甚至在同等级别的多卡比斯之间也存在着差距。
…Yes, I had a rough idea of this situation. I took a deep breath and deliberately spoke in a loud voice, "What? You won't give me the rewards?"
是的，我对这种情况有一个大概的了解。我深吸了一口气，故意大声说:“什么？你不给我奖励吗?”
Dokgak's eyebrows twitched at my words. However, his mouth was still relaxed.
听了我的话，杜卡克的眉毛抽动了一下，但是他的嘴仍然很放松。
[Oh, of course. I'm sorry. I made a mistake.]
哦，当然，对不起，我犯了个错误
Dokgak was a scary dokkaebi. He wasn't silly like Bihyung but had a different constitution from the intermediate dokkaebis. Not just anyone could be a streamer of a major channel.
独角兽是一只可怕的独角兽。他不像比亨那样愚蠢，但是他的体质与中间的多卡比斯不同。不是任何人都可以成为一个主要频道的流媒体播放器。
[The sub-scenario – SSS-grade Hunt has ended.]
[子场景——SSS-gradeHunt已经结束。]
[The compensation settlement will begin.]
[赔偿协议即将开始]
[You have obtained 50,000 coins as compensation.]
你得到了五万枚硬币作为补偿
I felt better when I received a huge number of coins. This scenario gave me 50,000 coins in one go. It was a great scenario.
当我收到大量的硬币时，我感觉好多了。这个方案一次性给了我50000个硬币。这是一个伟大的场景。
Given the fact that sub scenarios were formed at the discretion of the dokkaebi, most of these coins would come from Dokgak's pocket. I thought his stomach would hurt but Dokgak was smiling softly.
事实上，子情节是由dokkaebi决定的，这些硬币大部分都来自Dokgak的口袋。我以为他的肚子会疼，但是多卡克温柔地笑了。
[It is a great pleasure to see interesting stories. How can I not be amused?]
看到有趣的故事是一件非常愉快的事情。我怎么能不被逗乐呢
He muttered like he read my mind. Well, he had a big channel in Tokyo Dome so this level of coins being bled wouldn't matter.
他喃喃自语，好像他能读懂我的心思。他在东京圆顶有一个很大的通道，所以这种程度的硬币流血不会有什么影响。
Why did he leave Japan now? Chances were high that great players like Oda Nobunaga or Miyamoto Musashi would still be active. Yes… was he full because the incarnations in his house were so busy?
他为什么现在离开日本？像织田信长和宫本武藏这样的伟大球员仍然活跃的可能性很大。是的...他是不是因为在他家里的化身都很忙而饱了？
“Then give me the extra compensation quickly. Is this all?"
“那就赶快给我额外的补偿，就这些吗?”
[Ah, of course. I should naturally give it to you. You are the one who made this scenario interesting.]
[啊，当然。我当然应该给你。是你让这个场景变得有趣的。]
I somewhat became angry at his sarcastic tone. If it wasn't for this bastard, the Disaster of Questions would've been a lot easier. Bihyung glanced at me from behind and communicated with me.
我对他讽刺的语气有点生气。如果不是因为这个混蛋，《问题的灾难》会容易得多。碧亨从后面看了我一眼，和我交谈着。
–Hey… you know.
嘿...你知道的。
However, Dokgak interrupted Bihyung before his words could be conveyed.
然而，Dokgak在Bihyung说话之前打断了他。
[Bihyung, prepare the compensation.]
[Bihyung，准备赔偿。]
Bihyung made a surprised and angry sound.
比亨发出了惊讶和愤怒的声音。
[Huh?]
[哼?]
[Prepare for compensation. Do I have to tell you twice?]
[准备补偿。我必须告诉你两次吗?]
Look at this? Bihyung hesitated before opening his mouth again. [You are currently in charge of the sub scenario…] [How interesting Bihyung. You dare act like this in front of the incarnations?]
看看这个？比亨犹豫了一下，然后又张开了嘴。[你现在负责子方案......][真有趣Bihyung。你敢在前世面前这么做?]
A fierce aura started to crush Bihyung's body. The power of the dokkaebi depended on the size of the channel.
一股强烈的气氛开始压碎比亨的身体，多卡比的力量取决于通道的大小。
[It seems to be true that the size of your channel has grown lately.]
最近你们频道的规模似乎在扩大，这似乎是事实
Bihyung shrank back as Dokgak kept talking.
多卡克一直说个不停，比亨往后退了退。
[N-No! It is a misunderstanding!]
不!这是个误会
[You do know that the sixth scenario involves Korea and Japan together? Have you already forgotten?] [I-I'm really sorry. I'll prepare it right away!]
[你知道第六种情况是韩国和日本一起出现吗？你已经忘了吗?]我真的很抱歉。我马上准备
[Get started right away.]
[马上开始]
[Yes!]
是的
I didn't feel good because Bihyung was the one managing my channel To be honest, Bihyung and Dokgak's relationship seemed similar to how Song Minwoo bothered me during high school.
我感觉不太好，因为是比亨在管理我的频道。说实话，比亨和道学的关系看起来就像高中时候宋敏宇让我烦恼的那样。
[Additional compensation settlement will begin.]
[额外的赔偿和解将会开始。]
[You have acquired Parasite Species' Benefactor as a basic reward.]
[作为基本奖励，你得到了寄生物种的恩人]
[An additional selection reward exists.]
[存在额外的选择奖励。]
[You are the largest contributor to this scenario.]
[你是造成这种情况的最大因素]
[You have the first choice of additional compensation.]
[你有额外补偿的第一选择]
I saw a translucent catalogue appear in front of me. Once again, it was quite useful to catch a disaster.
我看到一个半透明的目录出现在我的面前。再一次，它是相当有用的捕捉灾难。
[Infinite Dimension Space Coat] – SSS-grade.
[无限维空间涂层]-sss-级。
[Dark Fire Half-Gloves] – SSS-grade.
[暗火半手套]-SSS-grade。
[Sylphid's Jump Boots] – SSS-grade.
- SSS-grade.
Triple S-grade compensation items. I quickly looked at the options of the items.
三s级补偿项目。我迅速查看了这些项目的选项。
The Infinite Dimension Space Coat had a special option of a 'inside pocket space' that allowed him to carry many things.
无限维度空间外套有一个特殊的选择“内部口袋空间”，让他携带许多东西。
Dark Fire Half-Gloves greatly amplified skills with the dark and fire attributes.
黑暗之火半手套大大放大技能与黑暗和火属性。
Finally, Sylphid's Jump Boots allowed me to use the 'jump' effect three times a day.
最后，希尔菲德的跳跃靴允许我一天使用三次跳跃效果。
They weren't star relics but it was enough to go to the 10th scenario. People might say, 'It is SSS-grade but it is only to the 10th scenario?' But the world of Ways of Survival was originally like this.
它们不是星星的遗迹，但这足以让我们进入第十个场景。人们可能会说，‘这是sss-级别的，但只是第10种情况?’但是《生存之道》的世界最初是这样的。
The item grade inflation was substantial in the world of Ways of Survival. The difference in performance of the items obtained in the early stages to the middle stages was huge, despite having the same grade.
在《生存之道》的世界里，项目等级膨胀是相当严重的。尽管成绩相同，但是从早期到中期的成绩差异很大。
Of course, it wasn't necessary to throw away SSS-grade items now but special materials would be needed to transcend equipment.
当然，现在没有必要扔掉sss-级的物品，但是超越设备需要特殊的材料。
This was why it was good to have star relics. Unlike other items, star relics didn't need transcendence. Once scenarios opened, the star relics would recover their inherent power that was beyond the constraints of probability.
这就是为什么有星星遗迹是件好事。与其他物品不同，恒星遗迹不需要超越。一旦情节打开，恒星遗迹将恢复其固有的力量，超越了概率的限制。
[…Please choose a reward.] Bihyung told me with a grouchy expression. He was exhausted by the harassment.
[......请选择一个奖励。]必亨带着不高兴的表情告诉我。他被骚扰弄得筋疲力尽。
At this moment, I heard Bihyung through the dokkaebi communication.
这时，我通过多卡比的交流听到了比亨的声音。
–Personally, I recommend the Infinite Dimension Space Coat. There is one more hidden option. It is easier to transcend later.
就我个人而言，我推荐无限维空间外套还有一个隐藏的选项以后更容易超越
He was working as my manager. The quick-witted Dokgak was staring at Bihyung.
他是我的经理，机智的多卡克盯着Bihyung。
[Bihyung?]
[ Bihyung? ]
[…Yes!]
是的
[You must explain the items to the constellations. Have you forgotten?]
[你必须向星座解释这些东西。你忘了吗?]
[I-I understand!]
我明白
Bihyung quickly started to explain the items to the constellations of Seoul Dome. I used this break to talk to Yoo Jonghyuk. "Yoo Jonghyuk, what are you going to choose?"
比亨很快开始向汉城穹顶的星座解释这些物品。我利用这个休息时间和柳永玉谈话。“柳永玉，你会选择什么?”
I had first choice but I decided to give it to Yoo Jonghyuk since I received his help.
我有第一个选择，但我决定把它给柳钟玉，因为我得到了他的帮助。
…Of course, this was if Yoo Jonghyuk didn't hit me into the ground.
当然，如果柳永玉没有把我打倒在地的话。
"Yoo Jonghyuk?"
“柳永玉?”
He didn't answer. He was just staring at me.
他没有回答，只是盯着我。
“Did you pass out again?"
“你又昏过去了吗?”
I waved my hand in front of his eyes several times but his pupils didn't change.
我在他眼前挥了几下手，但他的瞳孔没有变化。
[The character Yoo Jonghyuk is currently using Recovery Hibernation Lv. 3.] …Indeed, it was abnormal for him to move with that body. His body must be half broken to be able to use Recovery Hiberation. I couldn't just pick so I left a message with Midday Tryst. Han Sooyoung watched by my side and interrupted, "…Perhaps I should choose instead?"
角色YooJonghyuk目前正在使用恢复休眠Lv。3.]......事实上，对他来说，随着那个身体移动是不正常的。他的身体必须断了一半才能使用恢复休眠。我不能只是选择，所以我留下了一个信息午间约会。韩素英看在我身边，打断了我，“......也许我应该选择代替?”
“Only if you want to be hit by Yoo Jonghyuk later."
“除非你以后想被俞钟玉打。”
Han Sooyoung became silent in an instant. I spoke to Bihyung, "I will choose Infinite Dimension Space Coat."
韩素英立刻沉默了，我对碧亨说:“我要选择无限维度的空间大衣。”
However, the answer didn't come from Bihyung. Dokgak nodded and turned off the catalogue with a flick of his fingers.
然而，答案并非来自Bihyung，多卡克点点头，轻轻一弹就关掉了目录。
[You have picked a good item. Then let's go the payment area.]
你挑了一件好东西，那我们去付款区吧
Payment area?
付款区？
[The additional compensation can't be paid here.]
这里不能支付额外的赔偿金
Look at this.
看看这个。
“Where are you going to take me?"
“你要带我去哪儿?”
[I'll take you to my 'Dokkaebi Official Post'.]
我会带你去我的“多卡比官方邮局”
The Dokkaebi Official Post. (Official post in Korean also means a horsehair cap worn by officials)
Dokkaebi官方邮政(官方邮政在韩语中也指官员戴的马毛帽)
In folk tales, it was a type of clothing but here it was different. It was a 'room' that all dokkaebis had. It was a room that hid their true colours.
在民间故事中，它是一种服装，但在这里它是不同的。这是所有多卡比斯拥有的一个‘房间’。这是一个隐藏了他们真实面目的房间。
"That is a problem. Just give it to me here."
“这是个问题，就在这里给我吧。”
It was their unique space. I didn't know what to expect. As far as I knew, there was no procedure regarding moving to a Dokkaebi's Official Post in order to receive additional compensation.
这是他们独特的空间。我不知道该期待什么。据我所知，为了得到额外的补偿，搬到Dokkaebi的官方岗位没有任何程序。
It was obviously this guy's suggestion to go to his official post. Bihyung was watching me anxiously from next to him. I watched Dokgak with narrowed eyes.
这显然是这个家伙的建议，让他去担任他的公职。比亨在他旁边焦急地看着我。我眯着眼睛看着独角兽。
[Hrmm… do you want me to cancel the additional compensation?"
你要我取消额外的补偿吗?”
“Try it."
“试试吧。”
The scenario's compensation was a fixed rule of the Star Stream. Even a sub-scenario made with a dokkaebi's discretion couldn't take back an item that was given after the scenario was over.
该场景的补偿是恒星流的一个固定规则。即使是一个有着多亏比自由裁量权的子剧情，也不能收回剧情结束后给出的物品。
A smile flashed on Dokgak's face.
多卡克的脸上闪过一丝微笑。
[How interesting.]
真有意思
–This isn't a good idea.
这不是个好主意。
The dokkaebi communication opened.
多卡依比的通讯开通了。
As Dokgak opened his mouth, I heard him saying two different things.
当dokkak开口说话时，我听到他在说两件不同的事情。
[Kim Dokja. I've heard your story. You are so famous that the constellations of the lands beyond the peninsula know about you.] –I know about your contract with Dokkaebi Bihyung. But among the dokkaebis, it is possible to 'transfer incarnations.' [I've heard that you act proudly in front of dokkaebis and today I have discovered that the rumour isn't false.] –I will speak bluntly. Come to my channel. I am going to expand my channel to the Korean Peninsula. I will be happy to meet your desired items and conditions.
[KimDokja.我听说过你的故事。你是如此出名，以至于半岛以外的星座都知道你我知道你和DokkaebiBihyung的合同。但在dokkaebis中，“转世”是可能的[我听说你在多卡比斯面前表现得很自豪，今天我发现这个谣言不是假的。]-我会直言不讳。到我的频道来。我打算把我的渠道扩大到朝鲜半岛。我将很高兴满足您所需的项目和条件。
Interesting. He made me a scouting proposal in this manner. The suggestion from Dokgak could be seen as moving from a team in the Asian League to a top team from La Liga.
有意思。他以这种方式向我提出了一个童子军建议。来自Dokgak的建议可以被看作是从亚联的一支球队转移到西甲的一支顶级球队。
It was an attractive offer. The problem was… the transfer. I knew this guy called 'Dokgak.' “I might look like this but I'm actually really scared. I'm trembling while talking to you like this. So give me the item quickly."
