The Game of the Greatest Black Mage-Chapter 378

Chapter 378

0.

Maemmaemmae———!

At the sound of cicadas crying since dawn, Seonghyun was running with a smirk from the early morning.

Although he quit the game early yesterday because he was tired, perhaps because it became a routine, he woke up early and started running.

Starting the day with exercise.

It might be hard at first, but now that it has become a routine, vitality was being added more than ever.

Like that, running moderately about 10km today as well, he returned and showered refreshingly, and when he came out, he could see his family looking quite troubled from the morning.

For some reason, his sister was also up early and sitting at the table, and he could see the side dishes were quite simple unlike usual.

Still, it didn't seem to be a very serious matter as the atmosphere wasn't that heavy.

‘What is going on?’

As Seonghyun examined the atmosphere and sat in his seat.

Father Yoo Gwangjin nodded seeing Seonghyun arrive and brought up the story.

“Huuuum, Seonghyun, it seems you might have to stay out for a while.”

“Pardon?”

Is he telling me to leave suddenly?

As Seonghyun looked flustered.

Mother Lee Nakyeong laughed hoho and said.

“Oh my~ You'll make him misunderstand if you say it like that. Actually, Seonghyun-ah, we got a call from the unit below, and they said we might have to do construction due to a leak.”

“Ah. Is that so?”

Although money would be spent, it didn't seem to be a big trouble.

Indeed, Seonghyun also had earnings, and didn't his sister Yoo Mina also earn considerably well?

Even his father Yoo Gwangjin was known to earn well too.

There seemed to be no problem.

However.

“The pipe broke, so we intend to do interior construction anyway, and since it's better to do it properly while we're at it, we looked at the estimate yesterday to construct the entire piping, and they said the earliest date is starting today, so I think it would be good to stay out for the time being. I should have told you in advance yesterday, but you seemed to be sleeping soundly early, so I'm sorry to tell you like this now.”

“Ah! It's okay. It's because I slept early yesterday due to fatigue. Well, I just have to stay out for a while. How long do they say the construction will take?”

“They said technology has improved these days, so it will be finished in a week.”

“Oho.”

He was thinking about a month, but a week is certainly quite fast.

However, since a week was still a quite long time, Seonghyun fell into thought for a moment.

He was quite exhausted yesterday so he thought about resting a bit today, but still, not playing the game for a week is a bit much.

For now, he should think about where to stay.

Taking this opportunity to become independent might be a method, but.

He didn't really have the mind to do so.

Although he has money, living alone would only cause unnecessary hardship.

However, renting a house for just a week was ambiguous too.

Just as Seonghyun was thinking if there was any other way.

His sister Yoo Mina said.

“I plan to sleep at Yoojin's house. Do you want to go too?”

“Are you crazy?”

A refusal that came out reflexively.

Furthermore, at the words asking if he wanted to go together to a house where only women live, he looked at Yoo Mina as if dumbfounded, and Yoo Mina tilted her head as if asking what was wrong, but had no choice but to shut her mouth at the ominous appearance of their mother Lee Nakyeong.

Well, his sister Yoo Mina can be like that.

The idea itself was fine.

‘It would be fine to stay at a friend's house. Come to think of it, didn't Geondong say he was living alone?’

He seemed to recall hearing that his close friend Lee Geondong was living alone.

Well, wouldn't he be happy if he bought a gift while saying he would stay for a week?

It seemed he would be very satisfied with a reasonably latest high-end capsule.

After all, he said he moved to a two-room apartment upon joining Rapid Guild recently.

He should contact him later after breakfast.

Seonghyun thought so, had a harmonious breakfast as usual, and then a storage company came to remove the items in Seonghyun's room, so he guided them.

After moving the luggage appropriately like that, Seonghyun contacted Lee Geondong.

-Uh why?

The ringtone barely rang.

Lee Geondong, a man of loyalty who answers immediately.

Seonghyun smirked and asked.

“Didn't you say you started living alone in a villa a while ago?”

-Ah yeah, coming for a housewarming party? I haven't held one yet though.

At those words, Seonghyun asked with a playful voice.

“Not a housewarming party, can I live with you?”

-......Eh? Did you get kicked out? No, even if you got kicked out, why would a rich bastard try to live with me.......

Lee Geondong reacting immediately saying he's talking nonsense.

Seonghyun smiled at such Geondong and explained the situation.

“They said I have to stay out for about a week because of house construction. So I was wondering if I could stay for just a week.”

-Aha, I wondered what it was. It's a two-room but since there's no luggage yet, it's spacious. A week should be possible? If you ask, even a month is possible~

“What month.”

-Hehe, just saying.

For Lee Geondong, Seonghyun was practically a benefactor, so it was understandable.

In fact, wasn't moving to a two-room villa possible only because Seonghyun plugged him into Rapid Guild?

Of course, Seonghyun knew that it would have been impossible without Lee Geondong's skills, so he didn't think it was thanks to him.

Isn't how Lee Geondong thinks important?

Anyway, since the talk went well, Seonghyun said with a happy voice.

“Then send me the address so I can go after lunch later and buy a housewarming gift while I'm at it.”

-Ah, okay~ Just needed toilet paper anyway, contact me when you come later.

Just as Seonghyun was about to hang up.

Suddenly Lee Geondong's voice was heard.

-Hey hey but my house is a bit spooky.

“What?”

What kind of nonsense is this again?

He wondered if he was joking, but judging by the somewhat serious voice, it didn't seem so.

Wondering what he meant by spooky, he asked back.

-No well, it's not like ghosts appear or anything but a feeling that something is there?

“Isn't that the same thing?”

-Ah shit is it? Anyway, it feels like ghosts come out.

Although Seonghyun sees ghosts himself, he had never seen anyone who said such things actually feel or see ghosts.

But then he suddenly recalled the owner of the fortune-telling house he went to with his sister, Ahn Yoojin, and Ahn Yubin before, and remembered that there were indeed such people.

Well, still, would his friend Lee Geondong be someone who feels such things?

Seonghyun smirked and spoke as if it were dull.

“Haha, were you the type to care about such things?”

-No I'm serious anyway you'll know when you come and sleep, it's really spooky.

“It might be because it's your first time living alone so sleeping alone feels awkward.”

-Ah is that so? Anyway I warned you~

“I'll contact you when I arrive later.”

-Okay~

After hanging up like that, Seonghyun smirked.

Anyway, he gets scared easily.

Muttering so, Seonghyun picked up the luggage he packed in advance and went out.

Since he only had to buy a housewarming gift now.

Seonghyun drove out and headed to the capsule store.

Actually, money was sufficient.

He wasn't particularly worried.

Still, just in case.

After parking in the store parking lot, he turned on the bank app and checked the balance.

And Seonghyun tilted his head, doubting his eyes.

[Nara Bank]

『Balance : 60,546,871,000 Won』

“.......?”

Why has it increased by about 7 billion more?

Checking the history, first, about 3 billion came in from Rapid Guild as live ticket price, and the remaining 5 billion came in as revenue earned from doing the live broadcast in Eternal World this time.

‘Ha.’

Although he spent over 1 billion buying two Ferraris, it was absurd that 7 billion more increased.

So in reality, he shook his head at the situation where about 8 billion more came in.

Anyway, since he wasn't the type to indulge in luxury, it didn't matter much, but.

Thinking so be it, he got out of the car and headed to the store.

Since he had this much money, he was thinking of giving a somewhat generous gift to his friend.

1.

Although E-World was servicing the virtual reality game Eternal World, what brought much better profit than that was none other than capsule sales revenue.

Since they developed virtual reality and simultaneously created devices to access virtual reality, they were able to rise to a superior position above anyone else, so even now, their status was growing day by day.

Because now the world's best company and the richest person was Park Won.

Anyway, the name of the capsule company sold by E-World is Cradle.

Although it was a bit strange that E-World and Eternal World were all English names while the capsule company was named in Korean, no one could say anything since it was the world's best company.

Thanks to that, the employees also used to have pride in working for a large corporation.

Kim Hyewon was also one of those types.

Of course, just because she had pride didn't mean she was an arrogant type of person who evaluated people by appearance and gave them a hard time like the nuisance employees appearing in web novels.

In fact, how many such absurd people would there be in reality.

Kim Hyewon was just one of the people living hard day by day with pride.

‘Phew, I should sell at least one today though.’

However, since recent sales performance was a bit low.

She was worried.

Well, getting a lower incentive didn't matter much since the base salary itself was high, but there was another problem.

“Hyewon, will you be okay?”

“Pardon?”

“I mean, your sales lately are totally lackluster~?”

“Ah…….”

“Try a little harder. Since you accept just anyone, aren't you missing out on the prime customers unlike me?”

Kim Hyewon had no choice but to bow her head at her senior Park Minju's words.

Although she said such absurd people were rare, they actually did exist.

Park Minju was indeed one of them.

She judged people by their attire and tended to push those who looked a bit lacking in her eyes to Kim Hyewon.

Although Kim Hyewon's performance didn't drop because of that, coincidentally, things overlapped like that, and Park Minju's triumphant attitude worsened day by day.

It was the same this time.

Although a quite handsome customer, his attire was common.

Was he around the age of a college student?

At his quite young appearance, Park Minju jerked her chin at Kim Hyewon and said.

“Oh my, a customer. Hyewon, you go attend to him. Your performance isn't good anyway~”

“Ah…… Yes.”

She should just treat all customers equally, so why discriminate like that?

Dumbfounded, Kim Hyewon wanted to say something, but since a senior is a senior, she just let it slide.

Anyway, she had to serve the customer.

As she approached that handsome student customer.

Out of the blue.

“Do you have that Eternal model?”

“Pardon? Eternal?”

“Yes, isn't the Eternal model the best one out right now?”

A college student customer suddenly mentioning the Eternal Line, the best model.

Although Kim Hyewon was slightly flustered, she didn't lose her composure and answered immediately.

“Ah, that is correct. You are well-informed. The model with the best specs so far is the Frame grade model of the Eternal Line.”

“Ah, I didn't know about the grades, but please give me that one.”

Why is this so fast?

Kim Hyewon was startled by the incredibly fast purchasing power, but likewise answered calmly.

“……Ah, understood. Do you have a preferred installation date?”

“Huuuum, as soon as possible. Is installation possible today?”

“Ah! Just a moment.”

As Kim Hyewon looked up the schedule.

“Uh…… It seems there is a slot in an hour, would that be okay?”

“Oh, that's good. Then I'll do that. Please settle the payment with this.”

At those words, the customer, Seonghyun, handed over a debit card with a specially raised limit, and Kim Hyewon took the card with inwardly trembling hands and processed the payment.

A payment amount reaching a whopping 300 million won.

Seeing the card go through without issue despite that, she felt that he lived in a different world.

Like that, Seonghyun paid coolly and left, and it was no surprise that rumors spread among the staff about Park Minju going to the restroom and tearing her hair out after seeing that.

One hour later like that.

As Seonghyun arrived at Lee Geondong's house with the capsule technicians, Lee Geondong looked at Seonghyun with a dumbfounded expression and asked.

“Wh, what is all this?”

“Housewarming gift.”

“……Crazy bastard.”
