[Coins Possessed: 5,490,875 C]
[备有硬币:5,490,875c]
The endlessly climbing coins finally stopped at the peak. I doubted my eyes several times as I stared at this unbelievable number.
不断攀升的硬币终于停在了山顶。当我盯着这个难以置信的数字时，我好几次怀疑自己的眼睛。
[…Young man, how much did you earn?]
年轻人，你挣了多少钱
I looked around and saw the Mass Production Maker’s blank expression. The old man must’ve made a great profit since he bet 150,000 coins earlier. The dividend must be at least five times… [The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ envies you.] [The constellation ‘Loan Shark Aiming for the Heart’ is craving your coins!]
我环顾四周，看到了批量生产制造商的茫然表情。这位老人一定赚了一大笔钱，因为他先前赌了15万枚硬币。红利必须至少五倍......[《金发囚徒》星座羡慕你][“高利贷瞄准心脏”星座渴望你的硬币!]
Even the always stern looking Persephone was smiling. For reference, the queen of the Underworld bet 300,000 coins.
即使是一向严肃的珀耳塞福涅也在微笑，作为参考，冥界的女王赌了30万枚硬币。
…The Underworld must’ve gained a lot?
冥界一定收获颇丰吧？
[Nonsense! This is ridiculous!]
(胡说!这太荒谬了!)
Most of the constellations were filled with great despair apart from the three of us. I just needed to see their expressions to know how much coins they had lost. The constellations who bet a small amount to relieve their boredom looked sad but those who bet over 100,000 coins…
除了我们三个人，大多数星座都充满了极大的绝望。我只需要看看他们的表情，就能知道他们丢了多少硬币。那些押注少量金额来解闷的星座看上去很悲伤，但那些押注超过10万枚硬币的星座.....。
[Uwaaah!]
[哇!]
They were filled with anger. There were some constellations on the verge of bankruptcy. For example, that guy.
他们充满了愤怒，有一些星座处在破产的边缘，比如那个家伙。
[The constellation ‘Brash Swamp Predator’ is revealing enormous hostility towards you.]
[“傲慢的沼泽掠食者”星座显示出对你的巨大敌意。]
[Grab that guy!]
[抓住那家伙!]
The constellations who lost their coins, including the Brash Swamp Predator’ were approaching me. He lost his reason along with the coins and was prepared to throw himself into Han River.
丢失硬币的星座们，包括那架傲慢的沼泽掠食者，正向我走来。他失去了理智，随着硬币，准备投入汉江。
The constellations who noticed withdrew from my side. However, there was one constellation who didn’t back down. It was the queen of the Underworld, Persephone.
那些注意到我的星座从我身边退开了。然而，有一个星座并没有让步。那是冥界的女王，珀耳塞福涅。
[Everybody back off. How long are you going to act so ugly?]
[所有人后退。你们还要这么丑多久?]
Her ‘status’ was reminiscent of the cold night air and the approaching constellations faltered. However, some constellations were so agitated that they couldn’t be cooled by the night breeze.
她的“身份”让人联想到夜晚的寒冷空气和逐渐逼近的星座摇摆不定。然而，有些星座是如此的激动，以至于夜风都不能使它们冷却下来。
[Queen of the Underworld! Did you win some coins just now?] [Get out of here! It has nothing to do with you!]
地下世界的女王！你刚才赢了一些硬币吗滚出去！这和你没有关系
The atmosphere became heated and some of the watching high-ranking constellations intervened.
气氛变得热烈起来，一些观看的高级星座干扰了气氛。
[Maintain your courtesy.]
保持你的礼貌
It was the Morning Star Goddess who was familiar with Persephone. Nevertheless, the Brash Swamp Predator had already lost his senses and didn’t hesitate.
这是熟悉珀尔塞福涅的晨星女神。然而，傲慢的沼泽捕食者已经失去了他的感官，并没有犹豫。
[…Courtesy? Fuck courtesy…!]
[...礼貌?去他妈的礼貌...!]
As soon as the Brash Swamp Predator released his status, the other constellations also raised their status. Powerful sparks filled the air as a notice of the imminent conflict.
当傲慢的沼泽捕食者公布了他的地位，其他星座也提高了他们的地位。空气中弥漫着强烈的火花，预示着即将发生的冲突。
[The wish ticket used by the constellation ‘Demon King of Salvation’ is in effect.]
[由“救世魔王”星座使用的许愿券生效。]
Suddenly, intense sparks filled the hall and the movements of the agitated constellations stopped. A portal opened on the white ceiling while everyone hesitated. Beyond the portal was a sinister aura. It wasn’t an outer god but it was clearly something immense.
突然，强烈的火花充满了大厅，激动的星座停止了运动。白色的天花板上打开了一个入口，每个人都犹豫不决。在传送门的那一边有一种不祥的气氛。它不是一个外在的神，但它显然是一个巨大的东西。
Who was this? This was obviously above the highest ranked constellations…
这是谁?这明显高于排名最高的星座..。
The atmosphere tore apart and a strange creature appeared through the portal. The mysterious aura around his body was unmatched but he was neither a god or constellation. The man was dressed in a magician’s costume with an old-fashioned cane.
大气层四分五裂，一个奇怪的生物出现在传送门里。他身上的神秘光环是无与伦比的，但他既不是神，也不是星座。那人穿着魔术师的戏服，手里拿着一根老式的手杖。
[…A dokkaebi?]
[...多卡比?]
It was a dokkaebi.
这是一个dokkaebi。
[It has been a while, constellations.]
(已经有一段时间了，星座。)
The hall fell silent with a single sentence, like cold water had been poured on it. It was an overbearing silence. The enraged constellations who had just been screaming were holding their breaths.
大厅里只有一句话，就像泼了一盆冷水似的，静了下来。这是一种专横的沉默。刚刚尖叫过的愤怒的星座们屏住了呼吸。
[The rules of the Star Stream binds all constellations of the Gourmet Association.]
[星流法则约束着美食家协会的所有星座。]
All the constellations present were constricted by the probability. It was absolutely impossible for an ordinary dokkaebi, even if they had the channel operating rights.
在场的所有星座都受到概率的限制。对于一个普通的多卡比来说，这是绝对不可能的，即使他们拥有渠道经营权。
[U-Uhhh…]
[ U-Uhhh... ]
The Brash Swamp Predator, who didn’t falter despite the threats from high ranking constellations, was taking a step back with a white face. I had seen a description of this dokkaebi in the original novel.
这只傲慢的沼泽掠食者，尽管受到来自高级星座的威胁，仍然毫不畏缩，带着一张白脸后退了一步。我在原著中看到过关于这个多卡比的描写。
「 Most incarnations think there are only four ranks of dokkaebis. The lesser-grade, intermediate grade, semi-advanced and senior dokkaebis. However, there are dokkaebis above them. 」 「 The dokkaebis of the Star Stream, those with up to twelve coloured horns are the ‘first seat.’」
大多数化身认为世界上只有四个等级的多卡比。小级、中级、半高级和高级多卡比斯。然而，上面还有多卡比斯「第一个座位是星流中的多卡比斯，最多有十二个彩色喇叭者」
This dokkaebi had seven red horns coming from his head. The Star Stream called them ‘great dokkaebis.’
这个多卡比的头上长着七个红色的角，星河称它们为“伟大的多卡比斯”
[Sorry but the party will end here.]
对不起，聚会到此结束

As I read Ways of Survival, I had a question about the relationship between the constellations and dokkaebis.
当我阅读《生存之道》时，我有一个关于星座和多卡比斯之间关系的问题。
The dokkaebis might have special powers but a high-ranking constellation could kill one or two dokkaebis. Yet even the strong constellations didn’t touch the dokkaebis. No matter how annoying the scenario, they never tried to kill the dokkaebis.
多卡比斯可能拥有特殊的力量，但是一个高级星座可以杀死一两个多卡比斯。然而，即使是强大的星座也没有触及多卡比斯。不管这个场景多么令人讨厌，他们从来没有试图杀死多卡比斯。
…Why? The reason was right in front of me. A single hand gesture trapped all of the Gourmet Association in a net of probability.
为什么？原因就在我眼前。一个手势把美食家协会的所有成员都困在一张概率之网里。
I had never seen such dense sparks before. This was the power of the ‘story.’ Perhaps it was a story borrowed from the most powerful beings in the world. Whether it was narrative-grade or great-grade, they clearly couldn’t escape from the storm of sparks without being destroyed.
我以前从未见过这么密集的火花。这就是“故事”的力量也许这是一个从世界上最强大的生物那里借来的故事。无论是叙事级还是高级，他们显然无法逃脱火花的风暴而不被摧毁。
The high-grade constellations such as Thursday’s Thunder or Morning Star Goddess didn’t complain and only showed unpleasant expressions. It was Persephone who opened her mouth first. [Great Dokkaebi Halong. It’s been a while.]
像星期四的雷鸣或者晨星女神这样的高级星座并没有抱怨，只是表现出不愉快的表情。是珀尔塞福涅先张开了嘴。GreatDokkaebiHalong.好久不见了
The great dokkaebi slowly looked around.
伟大的多卡比慢慢地环顾四周。
[It is the ebb and flow. Queen of the Underworld.]
[它是潮起潮落的地狱女王]
[Is the Story King well?]
[故事之王好吗?]
[The king is safe.]
国王安全了
Due to the opponent, Persephone’s expression was in a state of tension that I had never seen before.
由于对手，珀尔塞福涅的表情是在紧张的状态，我从来没有见过。
[Why did you come here? In addition, leading dokkaebis of the executive branch…]
[你为什么来这里?此外，领导行政部门的多卡比斯......]
The dokkaebis of the executive department whom I had once seen were standing in a line behind the great dokkaebis. The fearsome pressure they emitted was no less than the Gourmet Association constellations. It was natural.
我曾经见过执行部门的多卡比斯站在伟大的多卡比斯后面的队伍中。它们发出的可怕压力不亚于美食家协会的星座。这很自然。
The dokkaebis of the executive branch were once constellations. Instead of replying immediately to Persephone’s words, the great dokkaebi swept over the constellations.
行政部门的多卡比斯曾经是星座。伟大的多卡比没有立即回答珀尔塞福涅的话，而是扫视了所有的星座。
[We are here to pick up the constellations who borrowed coins.]
我们是来领取借了硬币的星座的
[…Coins?]
[...硬币?]
Several constellations groaned and started to run away. The Mass Production Maker muttered with understanding.
几个星座呻吟着开始逃跑，大批量生产的制造者咕哝着表示理解。
[They are really foolish…]
他们真是愚蠢
It seemed that some constellations had borrowed coins from the dokkaebis to make their bets. Funnily enough, one of them was the Brash Swamp Predator.
似乎有些星座从多卡比斯借了硬币来下注。有趣的是，其中一只是傲慢的沼泽食肉动物。
[Uhh…. move, move out of the way!]
让开，让开
He rushed to a sparkling wall and tried to rip apart the net of probability.
他冲向一堵闪闪发光的墙，试图撕开这张可能性的网。
[Kuaaaack!]
[ Kuaaaack! ]
The great dokkaebi’s net was powerful. The moment he reached the net of sparks, the Brash Swamp Predator screamed. The dokkaebis of the executive branch bound his incarnation body.
伟大的多卡比的网络是强大的。他一碰到火花四溅的网，这个傲慢的沼泽掠食者就尖叫起来。行政部门的多卡比斯束缚着他的化身身体。
[R-Release me!]
放开我
I stared at the rows of constellations and thought about why the dokkaebis appeared here. I didn’t know the exact reason but I wondered if it was because the probability was influenced by my wish. In this world, the dokkaebis were the most sensitive to probability.
我盯着一排排的星座，想着为什么多卡比斯会出现在这里。我不知道确切的原因，但我想知道是否是因为概率受到我的愿望的影响。在这个世界上，多卡比斯对概率最为敏感。
In a flash, the dokkaebis arrested all the people who owed debts and started to transport them across the portal. It was a swift move like there was nothing to see.
在一瞬间，多卡比斯逮捕了所有欠债的人，并开始将他们运送到门户网站。动作很快，好像没什么好看的。
The great dokkaebi didn’t say goodbye. He stared as if warning the constellations before turning to leave.
伟大的多卡比没有说再见，他凝视着，仿佛在转身离开前警告着星座。
The moment before the portal was about to close, the great dokkaebi glanced at me. Beyond his cool eyes, someone was talking to me.
就在传送门即将关闭的那一刻，伟大的多卡比看了我一眼。除了他冷静的眼神，还有人在跟我说话。
「 Don’t be too loud, baby. The ‘king’ is watching you. 」
“不要太大声，宝贝，‘国王’在看着你”

The great dokkaebi left and the Gourmet Association ended its meeting. It was natural for the party to end. It was time for the respective constellations to go back.
伟大的多卡比离开了，美食家协会结束了会议。聚会结束是很自然的。现在是各自的星座回去的时候了。
I took advantage of the chaos in the banquet hall to slip out of the castle. A significant number of constellations were dragged away by the bureau but there were still some hostile to me. Thus, I needed to get out of here before there was trouble.
我趁着宴会厅里一片混乱，溜出了城堡。局里拖走了相当数量的星座，但仍有一些对我怀有敌意。因此，我需要在有麻烦之前离开这里。
However, I stood at the entrance of Oro Castle and encountered a difficulty I hadn’t thought of.
然而，我站在OroCastle的入口处，遇到了一个我没有想到的困难。
…How did I get back?
我是怎么回来的？
There was no guide or carriage. If I delayed here, I might be caught by other constellations…
没有向导，也没有马车。如果我在这里耽搁了，我可能会被其他星座赶上..。
At this time, there was an engine sound and something appeared around the corner of the castle. It was a luxury sports car with a streamlined body. It was a car reminiscent of the SSS-class Ferrarigini.
这时，城堡的角落里传来引擎的声音和一些东西。这是一辆流线型车身的豪华跑车。这是一辆让人想起SSS-class费拉里吉尼的车。
Wait, the person who made that car…
等等那辆车的制造者..。
The sports car stopped in front of me with a loud sound. The window rolled doll and an elderly man wearing sunglasses appeared.
那辆跑车在我前面停了下来，发出很大的响声。窗户摇动着，洋娃娃和一个戴墨镜的老人出现了。
[Get on, young man.]
上车，年轻人
It was the Mass Production Maker.
它是大规模生产制造商。
***

The moment the rear doors opened, the central body of the car behind longer and changed into the form of a limousine. I felt pure admiration at the sight as I got into the back seat.
后门一打开，后面的中央车身就变长了，变成了豪华轿车的形状。当我坐进后座时，我对这一景象感到纯粹的钦佩。
How many people could ride in this? Was he selling this car? Now I had money…
有多少人可以乘坐这辆车?他在卖这辆车吗?现在我有钱了..。
The body was made from solid protective material that adhered not just to the outside but the inside as well. I drank ice tea from the refrigerator in the limousine and looked around the vehicle.
身体是由坚实的保护材料，不仅坚持到外部，但内部以及。我坐在豪华轿车里，喝着冰箱里的冰茶，环顾四周。
The Mass Production Maker was in the driver’s seat while Persephone was in the passenger’s seat. Persephone had been communicating with someone since earlier. Perhaps it was related to the great dokkaebi who appeared.
大批量生产的制造者坐在驾驶座上，而珀尔塞福涅坐在副驾驶座上。珀尔塞福涅从早期就开始与某人交流。也许这与出现的伟大的多卡比有关。
“Mass Production Maker, thank you for your consideration. Still, I have a question.”
“大规模生产制造商，谢谢你的考虑。不过，我还有一个问题。”
[Hmm, what is it?]
这是什么
“…Why is this woman with you?”
“为什么这个女人和你在一起?”
I glared at Anna Croft who was sitting next to me. The Mass Production Maker smiled sweetly. [Huhu, I promised to give her a ride. Don’t fight too much.]
我瞪着坐在我旁边的安娜·克罗夫特。大规模生产制造商甜蜜地笑了。胡胡，我答应送她一程。不要打太多架
It was a very unpleasant situation but I couldn’t complain. I sighed and examined my companions. There were three Asgardians along with myself in the back seat.
这是一个非常不愉快的情况，但我不能抱怨。我叹了口气，检查了一下我的同伴。后座上坐着三个阿斯加德人和我。
There was the exhausted Iris and stunned Selena Kim. Anna Croft looked at their condition before suddenly speaking to me. “…Iris would’ve lived even if you didn’t help.”
疲惫不堪的艾里斯和目瞪口呆的塞莱娜·金。安娜·克罗夫特看了看他们的情况，然后突然跟我说话。“......如果你不帮忙，艾瑞斯也不会死。”
“I know. Perhaps Thursday’s Thunder would’ve saved her. Isn’t that right?”
“我知道。也许星期四的雷鸣会救她，对吗?”
Anna Croft bit her lips at my words. Anna Croft was a more brutal woman than anyone else but she didn’t lose those who were her ‘own.’ In face, Anna Croft’s colleagues didn’t die in the similar event that she held in the original novel.
安娜·克罗夫特听了我的话咬着嘴唇。安娜·克罗夫特是一个比任何人都残忍的女人，但她并没有失去那些属于自己的人面对现实，安娜·克罗夫特的同事们并没有像原著中那样死去。
Rather, they awakened through the scenario. It was the other people who died.
相反，他们是在这个场景中醒来的，死去的是其他人。
“It was Iris’ chance to get a good sponsor and you ruined everything. The future I saw wasn’t like this…”
“这是爱瑞丝找到一个好赞助商的机会，你却毁了一切。我看到的未来不是这样的......”
“She wouldn’t have wanted to get a sponsor in that way.”
“她不会希望以那种方式得到赞助。”
“You don’t know who the constellation was.”
“你不知道星座是谁。”
[Tsk tsk. I told you to get along but I guess it isn’t possible.]
[啧啧。我告诉过你要和睦相处，但我想这是不可能的。]
The form of the limousine changed and my seat showed strange movements. My vision blurred and I was sitting in the passenger’s seat where Persephone had been. The Mass Production Maker had changed my position with Persephone.
豪华轿车的形状改变了，我的座位显示出奇怪的动作。我的视线模糊了，我坐在珀尔塞福涅坐过的乘客座位上。大规模生产制造商改变了我与珀尔塞福涅的位置。
Maybe he didn’t want to hear fighting or perhaps there was a sound barrier between the front and back seats.
也许他不想听到打斗的声音，也许前排和后排座位之间有隔音屏障。
The Mass Production Maker told me, [You’re on bad terms with incarnations as well as constellations. Don’t make too many enemies.] “I don’t want to make enemies either.”
