243. Play some games (4)
It was clear that Amkena’s immersion in the game was disrupting her daily life.
Because I was like that when I was in my prime. I was working for a large company, but I hated going to work every day. When I threw my resignation letter on the boss’s desk and left, I felt a sense of liberation as if I had the whole world.
‘Well, somehow I succeeded.’
Since then, I have gained a stable source of income by increasing my YouTube subscribers to hundreds of thousands, but I cannot guarantee that a similar situation will apply to Amkena.
‘Still, I can’t fold it.’
It was just the beginning.
You can’t leave until you see the end.
An hour later, Cadia returned from a mission.
As soon as Cadia saw me, she waved her hand and ran.
“Mister, haven’t you gone yet? Did you wait for me?”
“He didn’t even die.”
“Of course! How strong I am. I handled the goblins nicely, yap, yap!”
Cadia pretended to throw her sword and smiled.
However, the fatigue that hung over the corners of his face could not be hidden.
At this point, you know. This kid was a case that hadn’t been through in a while. The blood and flesh splashing in the actual battle must have acted as a considerable psychological burden.
“By the way, mister… can you come with me from the 5th floor? I won’t hold you back.”
“Even if I wanted to go, I couldn’t.”
“There’s no such thing! The Goddess said that she had a great comrade to fight with!”
“At least not me.”
Jinho-chan’s control window moved.
He was being reported on the clearing results of the stage.
proper timing. I snapped my fingers.
[Master, congratulations on clearing the 4th floor!]
[The 5th floor is a boss stage where difficulties are expected! Why don’t you recruit new heroes to strengthen your power? The fact that the current event is paying out 2 advanced summon tickets! Don’t miss your chance to get 5 stars!]
A tip appeared on Jinho-chan’s screen.
I’ve ground Isel in advance for now.
He openly sent me a message, but he would follow me no matter how interested I was in the game.
The way to stop Jinho-chan, the assassin sent by Amkena’s mother, is simple.
You just have to get this guy into the game too.
You don’t even have to do it all the way.
All you have to do is fold it until Amkena clears the 100th floor.
In the meantime, Jinho-chan will be an excellent shield for Amkena.
Fortunately, Pick Me Up had a different personality from other mobile games.
As a result, the dropout rate of new users was low. In other words, as long as the guideline is presented to a certain extent, then there will be no problem without me.
‘After choosing a hero… … .’
Create training camp facilities.
From there, the first attack party is completed.
I waited for Jinho-chan to start summoning.
[Master, do you want to close the connection?]
[Yes / No]
[Then goodbye!]
The sky darkened.
Jinho-chan ended the connection.
Instead of summoning, I turned off the game with the tip message closed.
‘… … .’
This guy has no interest in pick me up.
If you have the will to play the game, I can help, as in the case of Amkena, but it becomes difficult when it comes out like this. As a character in the game, I can only interfere in this way.
‘Should I change my method?’
There was no other way.
It’s much more cumbersome and requires a lot of work.
I decided to keep an eye on the situation.
Jinho-chan doesn’t seem to put pressure on Amkena right away.
My lodging was set up next to Cadia.
In the first place, the 1st level inn only has about 10 rooms.
The only ingredients in the kitchen are potatoes and water.
That evening, I was able to eat grilled potatoes for the first time in a long time.
so the next day.
Jinho-chan reconnected.
[Master, give your heroes a chance to become stronger!]
[How about making a training facility? Heroes will train themselves through sophisticated artificial intelligence unique to Pick Me Up! Would you like to build a training center?]
[Yes / No (optional)]
Jinho-chan ignored Issel’s tip.
After that, I pressed Isel to pop up a few more tips, but each time, a message of refusal came back.
Amkena> Are you doing well?
wlsghWkd> It’s a game hack no jam. How is this different from the widespread auto games? They select heroes, send them to dungeons, and just look around. If you’re not smart, you’re a no-brainer.
Amkena> It’s a small rep. When you do, there are surprisingly many things to do. There are many things to take care of. Try a little more. Is my hero worthy?
wlsghWkd> Not really. The game is just no fun.
Amkena> ;;;
I clicked my tongue.
Are you saying it’s no fun without even trying it?
It seems that Jinho-chan’s watering has begun.
Of course, Amkena won’t give up easily.
However, if this situation continues, the connection time will naturally shorten.
It wasn’t a good situation at the moment when I was busy.
“Mister! How is it? Isn’t this enough to be a companion? Take this opportunity to take a cute and strong genius magic swordsman. A special opportunity that will never happen again…”
The lobby of the 1st level accommodation.
Cadia swung her sword in front of me.
A blue flame burns from the blade of the sword.
It was a basic weapon enchantment magic.
“Yap!”
I looked ahead without even paying attention to Cadia, who was taking form.
Issel sat down holding onto the coin mining machine.
[Batcoin… … stop loss… … didn’t… … black cow… … .]
“…”
[It’s ruined. It’s ruined. Master will fold. I will disappear too. shit… … If only I sold it a day earlier… … Wow!]
Issel held her head and sobbed.
I’m used to this look now.
‘If I don’t have the confidence to do well, I’d rather get a part-time job.’
tskz.
I opened my mouth.
“Tomorrow, when the master comes in, try posting another tip. Can you change the graphics? Add a sparkling effect to make it look better. Let them know that there’s a new event going on.”
[Then what are you doing, I’m not interested! That guy is white bread. I’m going to stop doing it!]
I pulled the bifrost halfway through.
[Hehehehehe! Ah Okay! You can do it!]
“Twenty goblins came out on the 4th floor. How did I do it…”
Both of them, who could be said to be the main force of this place, had strange heads.
One flower garden. The other is Hogu.
The only sane person was me.
‘I wonder if it’s okay to stay alert or not.’
You should be getting ready to be promoted to 5-star by now.
Do you think idiots are chasing after here?
‘He even touched me.’
I cleared my anger and looked to the right.
Some of the messages Jinho-chan had sent to Amkena were floating there.
wlsghWkd> This is a hero named Israat. What do you like? He was a bit strange. A warhorse statue? Carrying around strange things. Aren’t you a pervert? lol. Who likes trash like this hahahaha.
I can tolerate swearing at myself, but insulting the statue of a war horse… … .
‘This isn’t it.’
anyway.
Jinho-chan’s abusive language is beyond the permissible range.
Now I was thinking of not covering the means and methods.
“You must have found the master’s data, right?”
I spoke to Isel in a low voice.
Issel nodded his head impatiently.
belt ring.
The main screen of the mobile phone was displayed along with sound effects.
kind of hack. With this, I can control Jinho-chan’s cell phone.
If I hand over the initiative to that guy, I would waste my time in useless places like virtual shopping malls and coin galleries, so I decided to try my hand.
Let’s see.
I checked KakaoTalk’s chat history countless times.
I touched the green icon at the bottom of the main screen.
It was the largest search engine site in Korea, often called ‘Never’. Automatically logged in. I looked through the mail slowly.
‘There’s nothing but spam.’
Next, blogs and cafes.
‘hmm?’
This guy runs his own blog.
I entered Jinho-chan’s blog.
The title popped up in the upper right corner of the blog.
Behind the letters painted in rainbow colors, a picture of a girl with twintails in school uniform drawing a heart with her hands was decorated.
“…”
I touched on the latest post on the blog.
<Today, Nico-chan is Majitensi!>
<White Cake prepared for Nico-chan’s birthday! Happy Birthday Nico… … .>
<Watching the 2nd theatrical version for the 12th time… … .>
Looking at the KakaoTalk chat history, this guy was quite recognizable in the class, the so-called ‘inside’. Her friends often contacted her asking her to go hang out, and when I looked at her counterpart’s profile on Cocoa Talk, I saw a lot of women.
‘Your taste should be respected.’
I quietly closed the hologram window.
I’m not narrow-minded like Jinho-chan.
No matter what your preference is, everyone is respected.
Whatever you like is up to you.
‘What I use instead is what I use.’
how do i use this
Shall we chat anonymously and spread the blog address to the school group chat room?
A good way.
There are also several 19-karat gold videos stored in Jinho-chan’s cell phone files.
If you throw this video together, it would be good. In my head, I drew the expression of that guy who would go crazy.
[Ahh!]
Isel trembled.
“What?”
[No, I suddenly got chills… … .]
naughty child.
I clicked my tongue and crossed my arms.
“But you know what? When I was in Ram, how much…”
Cadia was still lost in her own world.
I looked up and down Cadia. Hair braided into two pigtails. A small body and a face with a cute corner.
‘… … .’
“Isel, do you have red ribbons and school uniforms in your room?”
[What school uniform? What are you talking about?]
“Shouldn’t Master turn his attention this way first? Then we can do something.”
[There is, but… … .]
Is there even
“good.”
I strode toward Cadia.
and the next day.
[Master wlsghWkd, welcome to Pick Me Up!]
The sky lit up with the sound of a connection.
[Loading has finished.]
[TOUCH ! (selection)]
Jinho-chan enters the main screen.
[Heroes need companions to fight alongside them!]
[How about advanced summons for smoother battles?]
Jinho-chan ignored the tip again.
I looked at Issel next to me and nodded. Issel looked back at me with a nervous expression and disappeared while spraying star dust.
[Master, the hero ‘Cadia (★★★★)’ is asking for an ally!]
Jinho-chan closed the window with an annoyed gesture.
I winked at Cadia standing in the square.
“Hey, Nico… Nico… you?”
Cadia, who hesitated, put her hands together above her head and pretended to be a rabbit.
And while dancing lightly, he made a heart shape with his hands.
‘I don’t think I saw it.’
“again.”
“…do I really need to do this?”
“You said you wanted to go back to your hometown?”
“It is, but!”
“I can’t help it. It’s all for Ram.”
Cadia, who was wearing a school uniform, made a tearful face, then took another action.
How many times have you repeated that? As always, Jinho-chan, who was trying to whisper to Amkena, met Cadia in the square.
[Master, the hero ‘Cadia (★★★★)’ is asking for an ally!]
Cadia made a heart shape with a half-crying expression.
He wore a school uniform, dyed his hair black, and wore a red ribbon.
‘I have to get attention somehow.’
Even if you put on a show that doesn’t fit.
Getting this guy into the game starts from there.
‘Did you say you wouldn’t follow me?’
I looked at Cadia, who was trembling and forced to smile.
Yesterday morning, I explained about this world to Cadia, who said she would not hesitate.
There was no choice but to do a cosplay.
What I have told you is the purpose of the game and the reason for the existence of the Master.
Cadia bombarded me with questions, but I answered them all as best I could.
He seemed ignorant, but luckily he seems to have a smart head.
Although she couldn’t accept it 100%, Cadia seemed to realize that she couldn’t do without her Master. After that, I suggested it in preparation for Jinho-chan’s retirement. If this doesn’t work, why don’t you come to where I am?
This guy had some flaws in his personality, but he had good potential.
If grown well, it was a lumber that could serve one person in Taoni.
However, Cadia refused.
He said his parents and friends were waiting for him.
I guess so.
That guy was also desperate in his own way.
‘If this doesn’t work… … I have no choice but to use a more cumbersome method.’
We have already secured the identity of Jinho-chan.
If this move doesn’t work, that guy and I will get tired of each other.
It’s better to accept it quietly.
“You, Nico…”
I don’t even have to make a sound.
After looking at Cadia on the plaza for a while, Jinho-chan started manipulating the screen.
[Teeling!]
[Master, start summoning!]
How does it seem to have stopped starting?
I sighed.
