Episode 27.
The third video uploaded to the Seongnam channel.
Deokgu stared quietly at the thumbnail of the video on the screen.
And then, as if possessed, clicked.
Move the mouse to play the video.
[Yes, yes? Oh, no! Wait, wait a minute…! I, I’m the boss!!!]
The video began with Deokgu’s pitiful cry.
Actually, I thought about editing it out, but… I just left it.
Even though the face wasn’t shown, it was possible to immediately show how urgent and dire the current situation was.
[Just a moment! I’ll pass!]
That’s why I was able to express right away how crazy that was.
The shaky screen stabilized and the focus became clear.
The steady screen was showing a man.
Siwoo, the owner of the Seongnam Channel and the CEO of Deokgu.
Siwoo was going out, going against the flow of people coming into the building, like a salmon swimming against the current.
[I, I…!]
[Hey! Come back right now!!]
People were shocked and shouted at Siwoo’s appearance.
However, Siwoo quickly went out of the building without anyone having time to stop him.
The screen hesitated and shook for a moment.
Is it right to follow Siwoo?
Such doubts were clearly revealed beyond the screen.
But that was only for a moment.
The screen soon began to move following Siwoo.
“……I’m crazy.”
Deok-gu, who was watching the video, covered his face with both hands.
I really don’t know what I was thinking when I followed him.
Just thinking about it now makes my heart pound.
Despite Deok-gu’s feelings, the video on the screen continued to play.
[Profit─!!]
A rough breath came out through the shaking screen.
What soon appeared on the screen was dark brown skin.
He is 2m tall and has a pig-like appearance.
It was a C-class monster, an orc.
The number of orcs seemed to be over ten.
Orcs stalked the streets, scanning the surroundings as if searching for prey.
Then I found Siwoo.
[Profit─!?]
[Chwieeeek!!]
He started to get excited and let out a rough snort.
It may sound like a simple breath, but it wasn’t like that when I heard it directly.
I felt fragments of emotions like joy and ecstasy, along with anger and hatred.
A hungry desire for prey.
It looked like they would rip Deokgu apart at any moment.
“Ugh… .”
Deokgu’s body trembled.
The events beyond the video and the vivid emotions were conveyed.
Above all, wasn’t Deokgu himself filming that scene at that time?
Deokgu almost collapsed in fear.
But Siwoo wasn’t like that.
Siwoo walked confidently towards the orcs.
[Hey, hey! What are you doing!!]
[Come back now!! Right now!!]
People shouted in great panic.
These days, thanks to the video medium YouTube, even ordinary people can often come into contact with monsters.
I could lie in the corner of the room and see A-class and S-class monsters.
Compared to such provocative images, the orcs were nothing.
It was common to laugh at it, saying, “Just a C grade?”
This is what ordinary people would struggle against even F-rank goblins.
And then die.
Just for that? He was torn to pieces by F- and E-class monsters while acting like a guest.
In this day and age, dungeon breaks are well-prepared.
Nevertheless, fatal accidents continued to occur, and almost 90% of them were due to accidents.
A tendency to make fun of monsters.
But before the 13 heroes appeared.
The monster was the one who brought about the end of humanity.
That’s why now.
[What are you doing now!!]
[Come back quickly!! Hurry up!!]
Siwoo’s actions were nothing short of crazy.
Still, Siwoo did not run away.
Instead of running away, I glanced at the screen from the corner of my eye.
It looked like he was looking around.
But Deokgu knew.
That’s not about looking around, it’s about checking if Deokgu is taking good pictures.
And did you check that Deokgu was taking good pictures?
Siwoo hits it without hesitation!
He threw himself at the orcs.
[Oh, no!!]
[Gyaaaahhhhhh!!]
People were shouting, tired of thinking.
People screamed at the sight of Shiwoo soon to be torn to pieces in an ugly way.
and.
[Rice noodle soup in a clay pot!!]
Kwaaaaang─!
[…… huh?]
[…… Eh?]
People’s expressions suddenly rose to the surface.
It seemed like everyone had made a promise.
So, people’s minds all went out at the appointed time.
[A feast of noodles in a clay pot!]
Kwaaaaang─!
The loud noise continued to be heard in the absentminded mind.
Screen within the video.
Siwoo was swinging his fist at the orcs.
[Kalguksuwoooo …
He was fighting the orcs while shouting at them with no particular enthusiasm.
Kwaaaaang─!!
And, of course, it blew up.
Literally.
Kwaaaaang─!!
The orcs were all exploding!
[I, that…]
[what…?]
People were left speechless by the incomprehensible phenomenon.
It wasn’t just the people at the Silk Cafe.
People inside other buildings also watched this strange phenomenon with expressions on their faces.
Soon after, a large number of people arrived at the scene.
It seemed like the guards had been dispatched after receiving a report.
[Dangerous! Everyone get inside the building… Huh?]
[If you come out like this… Huh?]
And they were no different.
The faces of the people who encountered the phenomenon suddenly turned pale.
[Ah, no…]
[What is this…?]
They also didn’t understand the phenomenon before their eyes!
No, look at what you see now.
[Kongguksu is in a pot!]
Kwaaaaang─!
So look at this fight that cannot be defined!
How on earth can one understand this!
Things Deokgu has experienced so far.
Common sense is the knowledge we acquire while living in the world.
Common sense was refusing to understand the phenomenon before their eyes.
The orc hordes were cleared out in an instant.
Siwoo gives a thumbs up through the scenery of the exploded orcs!
[A pot that two people can eat together without even realizing it if one dies!]
[If you enjoyed it, please like and subscribe! Please turn on notifications once!]
And so the video ended.
“……”
Is this… really true?
Shouldn’t the video be taken down now?
Deokgu really couldn’t understand.
Dazed mind.
Deokgu checked the comments on the video with trembling hands.
└
└
└
[Video views] – 32,255 times.
[Number of subscribers to Se-gong-nam Channel] – 2,110.
The response was good.
No, it was good, it was explosive.
If it weren’t for that, the number of views wouldn’t be like that.
This video alone has brought in nearly 1,000 subscribers.
Maybe that’s why.
Deokgu still couldn’t understand the video.
However, I could understand Siwoo to some extent.
“Our boss… .”
There are some really crazy people on YouTube.
and me.
“I wonder if I can do it….”
Shouldn’t I just quit now?
Deokgu really had no choice but to think about it hundreds of times.
but.
“Sister! Eat a ton of chicken!”
“Sister, save some too! Let’s eat it together!”
A cheek that is puffed up to perfection.
Oiliness at the corners of the mouth.
The younger siblings were smiling brightly and each holding a chicken leg.
It was a common food that other people ate about once or twice a month.
But Deokgu couldn’t afford to buy it even once a year.
But the bonus I received while editing this video made it possible.
The bonus that Siwoo gave me, calling it a hazard allowance, allowed me to indulge in some luxuries.
“Wow! That’s what I’ve been eyeing for a while now, Maria!”
“You ate it earlier! This is Deokgu’s sister’s!”
The sight of younger siblings bickering and talking.
‘let’s work hard!’
Deokgu clenched his thin fists.
* * *
Kkang─! Bang!
The sound of hammering echoes throughout Seo’s workshop.
“Hoo…!”
Siwoo put the hammer down quietly.
And I took a look at the finished sword.
Could it be because the equipment was made from orc byproducts obtained from Dungeon Shock this time?
Even at first glance, it looked extraordinary.
After all, the orc was a C-class monster.
It was strange to compare it to the E-grade equipment that had been made so far.
Tiring!
The sound of a smartphone notification being heard at that moment.
Siwoo checked the notification window on his smartphone with a trembling heart.
“If you give it to me for free, I’ll think about it… .”
In short, he was saying that even if it was given to him for free, he wouldn’t use it.
I put a lot of effort and dedication into making it.
By Hephaestus’ standards, it was still garbage equipment.
of course.
“Huh…! How could this be… .”
“Wow…! Mr. Siwoo, the quality of your equipment is really no joke!”
Of course, it was Hephaestus’ standard.
Seo Pal-gwang and So-eun opened their eyes wide.
Everyone was expressing surprise as they looked at the equipment Siwoo had made.
In particular, Seo Pal-gwang’s expression was close to shock.
“Where on earth do you see this? It’s the work of someone who hasn’t even been doing this for a month!”
Seo Pal-gwang opened his mouth wide and looked at Si-woo and Jang-bi alternately.
It just didn’t meet Hephaestus’ standards.
The equipment Siwoo made was of sufficiently high quality.
“It’s all thanks to the help of Seopalgwang.”
Siwoo scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Although there were some regrettable aspects, there was definitely progress.
‘My proficiency has also increased a lot.’
A whopping 1.4%
Although it may be a small number, it is a huge number considering that it has increased by 0.03% so far.
“Mr. Siwoo, are you thinking of selling that?”
“Yes. Please take good care of me this time too.”
Siwoo handed over the equipment he had made to Soeun.
“The price is….”
“Please give it to me when the equipment is sold.”
I have dealt with Soeun before.
Siwoo could believe that Soeun was not a merchant who would betray his trust.
“Of course you know that you are selling it at the highest price, right?”
“Leave it to me!”
Soeun answered forcefully as if to tell me not to worry.
Furthermore, he nodded solemnly as if he had received a great sense of mission.
The sight was just like a puppy, and Siwoo couldn’t help but chuckle and laugh.
“More than that, Siwoo. I think your complexion has improved a lot lately.”
“Me?”
“Yes. Before, the dark circles under my eyes reached all the way to my mouth, and honestly, I was confused as to whether I was a human or a zombie. But now, I still look like a human.”
Siwoo touched his face without realizing it.
And definitely… .
The skin that had been so flaky had gained some elasticity.
This was because the workload was lessened as Deokgu took over the editing work.
Although I was still busy, I was still able to get some sleep.
‘Although the labor costs are a bit burdensome….’
The burden was especially greater last time when we had to pay hazard pay.
In fact, there was no need to provide hazard pay.
In a way, helping with video shooting could be considered an editor’s job.
But strictly speaking, it wasn’t the editor’s job.
An editor is, after all, an editor.
It meant that he was not a servant who did the dirty work.
‘Kang Do-cheol was trash.’
Si-woo, who once worked as Kang Do-cheol’s editor and did all kinds of dirty work.
If I had to do it, I had to do it.
Those were the days when I had to be picky.
Even though it was unfair, Siwoo couldn’t raise his voice.
Because in the relationship between A and B, it wasn’t easy for B to raise his voice.
Siwoo knew that hardship all too well.
That’s why Siwoo took care of it without even saying anything.
‘Mr. Deokgu is also good at it.’
No kidding, Deokgu really did a good job.
The concern about having no experience at first was literally just a concern.
First of all, Deokgu himself was sincere about the video.
He even suggested things to Siwoo by finding things that he wasn’t even asked to do.
There was no need to even mention his skills.
Perhaps because of this, there were compliments about editing in the comments.
‘I didn’t know you would work this hard.’
Thanks to this, Siwoo was able to completely let go of his editing duties.
Of course, you can get enough sleep.
It was to the point where I even had a lot of free time to spare.
In that sense.
“So-eun. What happened to the herbs I asked you to bring me last time?”
“Oh, right! Look at my mind.”
So-eun clapped her hands in agreement with Si-woo’s words.
“I was going to tell you this, but I was so surprised by Siwoo’s equipment that I forgot.”
“What do you mean…?”
Soeun answered, making a V sign with her fingers.
“I saved them all!”
“Already?”
Siwoo opened his eyes wide and looked surprised.
The herbs that Siwoo spoke of were difficult to obtain.
Of course, it wasn’t that hard to get.
However, these were herbs that had to be sold here and there.
So I thought it would take a month or two.
To think that they’d all been saved in less than a month.
“So-eun, you’re really amazing, right?”
It was an honest impression without any exaggeration.
“Of course! I told you. Soeun Trading Company only handles the best products in Korea!”
What does that have to do with this?
Siwoo was curious, but didn’t ask questions.
“How much does it cost…?”
“It all came to 212.44 million won.”
“212.44 million won… .”
It could be said that the price was truly crazy.
“But this is also Siwoo’s first request. I’ll just take 200 million.”
In short, it was no different from offering a discount of 12.44 million won.
Not a small amount of money.
“Is that okay?”
“But from next time onwards, there will be no mercy.”
Siwoo nodded slightly.
There was no reason not to accept the discount.
“But Mr. Siwoo, where are you going to use all those herbs?”
“hmm….”
Siwoo was at a loss as to how to answer this.
There was no reason to hide it, but there was also no reason to tell it.
I was at a loss as to how to explain it exactly.
But if I had to say… .
“It’s a clinical trial.”
“…… yes?”
As expected, So-eun didn’t seem to understand.
