Ch.127″Give me proper compensation, you bastards.” (2)

Of course, if the other moderators had kept them in check during this process…

Icarus’s uprising(?) would have been suppressed immediately…

“Well, honestly, idiots do need to be taught a lesson.”

Not only Betelgeuse, who didn’t mind trolling in the game but disliked trolling in the community…

‘Heung, if Icarus wants it…’

“Clan leader, shouldn’t we intervene in that?”

“There are requests from our clan members to lift the mass deletion in the gallery…”

“…Wouldn’t it be better to use this opportunity to appear friendly to that Icarus user and recruit them into our clan?”

“Oh…”

“You had that thought? That’s a good idea.”

Arcadia, who was inexplicably obsessed with Icarus.

Along with the tacit approval of this incident by the leaders of the two major rival clans.

“Do we really need to get involved in this matter?”

“I agree.”

Though they couldn’t reveal it during their introductions due to the appearance rating controversy.

Raksha, who was the leader of “Rotten Water,” a major clan ranked within the top ten in the Xenovia Empire.

Similarly, Arto, the leader of the “Dragon” clan that spanned between the Earth Federation and the Xenovia Empire, was showing neutral or favorable reactions to the situation.

However, the number one clan “Humanity,” which by current size had slightly more members than Betelgeuse’s “Loki” clan.

Antares, who served as the clan leader there,

As part of his plan to monopolize the “power” of being an administrator,

Was internally frustrated watching the firepower of the gallery—which he had instigated by manipulating the rejects who couldn’t join the “Loki” clan—collapse in an instant.

“…Those bugs seem to be more pathetic than I thought.”

“Indeed, Commander.”

After gesturing to the “Superhumans” who had been combing through their flowing blonde hair with brushes to stop,

He couldn’t hide his disappointment at the “trolls” being suppressed more easily than he had anticipated.

But that didn’t change anything…

“Commander, Loki and Justice say they won’t get involved in this matter.”

“Tsk, then it would be dangerous for us to get further involved as well.”

Above all, considering the current situation,

After quickly calculating in his head,

Despite being disappointed that the “sponsored” trolls’ usefulness had been so short-lived,

He saw no reason not to abandon them, and quickly addressed his adjutant “Messiah.”

“Tell them we also agree with that opinion, Messiah.”

“Understood.”

Anyway, as a result of this consensus reached behind the scenes(?),

Most gallery users, for the first time in a very long time since being possessed in this game…

Or rather, for the first time since being possessed, they were able to experience a “pleasant” gallery environment.

Title: Hey, looks like trolls are blocked from the auction house and chat too?

Author: Aria of the Thyroid

Content: [GIF of troll posts being deleted in real-time from the auction house]

One troll got blocked from the gallery so they tried posting there

The moderator instantly deleted their post and they couldn’t write anything more

And the chat seems to have noticeably fewer messages going up than usual

Comments:

-[Those pranksters tried to mess around in the auction house and got shut down immediately~]

-[Not so easy, huh]

-[Chat is one thing, but what were they trying to do in the auction house and trading areas?]

—————————————-

Initially, due to the indiscriminate mass deletions and friendly fire incidents,

Users were secretly building up complaints about Icarus’s behavior…

But once “normalization” through mass deletion was achieved,

They were praising the judgment of Icarus and the other moderators for the incredibly comfortable gallery environment.

And the same was happening in the chat as well:

—————————————-

-[Let’s all sing praises to the moderators.]

-[Mod punch! Mod punch! Mod punch!]

-[He is a god!]

-[He is… a god!]

-[Wow-!]

-[Has everyone gone crazy?]

-[Are you doubting THE Icarus, the one true god?]

-[Please stop this nonsense]

—————————————-

Thanks to this, Icarus himself was steadily climbing the ladder as a “well-liked user.”

Of course, regardless of all this, Icarus himself didn’t even know about it.

And even if he did know, he wouldn’t have had the luxury to care about such things right now…

At the same time.

My friends and I, who had been busy scorching the gallery…

<<“While I understand your feelings, everyone, such widespread deletion and blocking is not appropriate behavior.”>>

“…”

We had been abducted by the management team who couldn’t stand watching our actions, and taken to another strange space from the base.

Of course, after spending the past few days as unpaid eraser workers, how did they expect us to react to such words?

“Haven’t we been seeing nothing but shit for days? Haven’t we?!”

“I had to watch an old man doing it with another old man…”

“…”

“After seeing a man thrusting into a leaking anus five times in a row, I feel like my brain is collapsing.”

<<“I completely understand, everyone.”>>

After hearing our desperate cries mixed with resentment,

The shiny-headed management staff member also agreed with our words and began to speak to us again.

<<“That’s why additional compensation will be given to you… specifically to those in the top 10 rankings.”>>

“Compensation?”

“What kind of compensation?”

<<“First, regarding this compensation, it will be awarded along with the ranking rewards later, but…”>>

“But?”

<<“Since we’ve recognized that administrative authority doesn’t function as a ‘reward’ for you, additional compensation will be given separately to those who pursue solo play and don’t have clans.”>>

“Oh.”

“Ohhh.”

“Oh.”

To summarize, it basically meant they’d give extra rewards to the clanless loners if we calmed down and accepted this,

But the important point was that there would be proper compensation for this “unpaid labor” we were experiencing.

My fellow solo rankers and I were very tempted by the management’s words.

Of course, due to that “I won’t tell you everything!” habit of the management, we couldn’t hear exactly what the compensation would be until the end.
