MC really knows how to scam people

 

[LuziferSenpai]

How to be a MC, worth being remembered? Be unique! And this MC is more unique then 90% of the other MC's!

Thanks for translation '-'7

 

[LegitRikk]

Guy really starts arguing with the mc on stage while he’s trying to scam everyone, not the best time honestly

 

[filiusneptunum20]

Is there a web novel for this?

 

[Halo]

Of all people, Koreans should have known better not to trust a fellow Korean.
In Korean fiction, scamming random people is a virtue.

 

[dasheek]

@Halo Like in any mmo where Koreans are at large scamming is just another profession.

 

[yotsuba12]

LMAO

 

[Chacha11]

Haahhaha

 

[ninjadork]

@dasheek @Halo It's an Asian / Middle East thing, not just a Korean thing (China, Japan, India, all the way west to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and south to the Phillipinnes). In a bit more than half the world, it's is considered a cleverness worthy of respect to scam people. There is no cultural "fool me once, shame on you" principal to be found.

 

[VirgoShaka]

Asking for 1 gold to share quest like weed

 

[phil777]

@ninjadork I can respect cleverness, but honestly, it's not in one's best interest or society to be fooled that often. =/

 

[Grye]

Well he's fitting his appearance at least

 

[Naiyro]

He is a Weed 2.0

 

[MrFakOff]

@Naiyro dude u just said what i was thinking xd

 

[ninjadork]

@phil777 Remember that the next time someone tries to tell you "all cultures are fundamentally equal", "you can't judge them - it's their culture", and "you can't 'judge' till you've gone a mile in their shoes".

 

[phil777]

@ninjadork Joke's on you, I'm an anthropology bachelor graduate. =/ We were told that despite cultural differences, not ALL practices are acceptable, or that you should accept them. Would you assist with a human sacrifice, for example, out of respect for one's culture? (going with the flow is often called "going native" as we call it in the domain) I could list other questionable practices that still persist today under the guise of "tradition". Some of them are actually detrimental to the well-being of the individual or the society on the long term even if they (sometimes) provide an immediate benefit.

It seems a bit like how old merchant ships ''reqruited'' sailors(at least the V.O.C. and W.I.C): go to a bar, search for able bodied men, get them drunk, promise a good job(fortune fame, that sort of stuff), make them sign a contract(a simple X could suffice becasue not many commonfolk could write their name), kidnap them(''legally'' of course), put them in a prison until it is time to board the ship and then force them to enter the ship and work as a sailor.

 

[Armsdealer12]

Scrubs get scammed. Hahaha.
Where I am from, the Philippines, we mock the poor sod that gets scammed, openly if we are friends. After a good laugh we try to track the bastard to get back whatever was taken and rough up the scammer on the way of turning them over. We have a kind of community justice mindset here at times.
