Ranker recruitment.

'Climb the tower of trials'

(3)

[['Climbing the Tower of Trials']

Episode 8 will be closed for one week due to the circumstances of the broadcasting company.]

A document requesting final approval for the break and a file containing the broadcast volume were placed on the table.

Whoa.

Director Kang Byung-chan pressed his temple with his index finger.

If you sign here, the program, which is the broadcasting station's hope, will take a week off immediately, and your sales and reputation will suffer a painful blow.

However.

'Can not help it.'

If this video is released as it is, some kind of catastrophe may occur.

With a dead person who only shouts to avoid unconditionally.

A female host with an expression like crying.

And even the PDs who are actually crying.

It was as if a midsummer night's nightmare had been crammed into one video.

'Yes. I can understand this.'

The swearing even came out of my throat, but I was able to make up for one mistake afterward.

the problem is.

The point is that the person responsible for directing this hell has appeared proudly to claim his share.

'Is the conscience cemented and coated with diamonds?'

This is enough for even Satan to shake his head.

I'm seriously asking for the performance fee. Are you saying this?

Kang Byung-chan opened his mouth.

Of course. It's written in the contract.

"We haha. I don't know if you know this, but we're going to suffer a lot of damage due to this break. Rather, it's a situation where we may have to claim compensation from player Jinhyuk Kang!

Kang Byung-chan put a threat, but Jin-hyuk did not blink an eye.

Well. I just did what the contract said?

got an invitation

I got rid of the tips accordingly.

Now is the time to get paid for it.

There was no problem.

Do you think such a coercion will work?

Yes. I think it will work. Actually...

Jinhyuk took a breath.

And the words that followed pierced the opponent's lungs deeply.

After working with the CEO of BJ Entertainment called Lee Jong-soo and exploiting BJs, didn't you say, 'It's written in the contract, so if it's unfair, do it according to the law.' I know it was Director Kang Byung-chan who moved the case.

A fact that everyone knows.

Director Kang Byung-chan secretly contacted big-name BJs to make up for the broadcasting station's deficit.

Hearing that it's going to be a lot of money, some conscientious BJs joined hands with him

One of them was Lee Jong-soo, the representative of the entertainment that Jinhyuk belonged to.

And Jin-hyeok came here to take responsibility for what happened at that time.

'Lee Jong-su, he died in a mangrove tree, so he'll pay the price for his sin. You are not.'

It wasn't a grand excuse to take revenge on the fellow BJs who had to quit the show, but I can't see the person in question being ripped off with money.

It was worth the time invested, as I was planning to get the Magical Stone as well.

Oh! Don't deny it for nothing. I came from knowing everything. I didn't hear this from anywhere, I was one of the parties to the contract.

...!

gulp.

Dry saliva ran down Kang Byung-chan's neck.

Indeed, if the other party is one of the BJs who signed a slavery contract, no words will be able to deceive them.

Above all else, the opponent is S-class, not the bottom BJ.

Isn't that the player that is becoming the hottest topic in the world?

If you lied to me... .

'Damn my neck looks like it's flying.'

Kang Byung-chan felt his head spin and spin as if anemia had occurred.

He untied his tie and fanned it with his hands.

I tried to roll my head hard, but I couldn't come up with any sharp numbers that could get me out of this situation.

...Okay. Magical Stone. I'll pay you right away. But can I just call you before that?

Call me... .

It looks like he's trying to get some advice somewhere or hit SOS.

well.

whatever you do whatever you plan

All of that will only result in a tighter neck.

Jinhyuk was already reading Kang Byungchan's number from a high place.

Do by that way.

It is enough to reply with a smile.

30 minutes later.

Kang Byung-chan and Jin-hyeok headed to a large warehouse located in the basement of the broadcasting station.

This place was once used as an underground parking lot, but after the advent of the Tower of Trials, its use changed as a warehouse for storing various items, especially magic crystals in large quantities.

'Exactly, it's probably used to store things for tax evasion or lobbying.'

Jinhyuk looked around as if curious.

As it is a facility built with state-of-the-art facilities, iris or fingerprints were required to pass through a single door. It is a tight security that is comparable to a military facility.

Let's go through the security door like that a few times.

[Director Kang Byung-chan. Approval is complete.]

Finally, the door to the warehouse opened, and a mountain of magic stones appeared.

Oh.

An exclamation came out of Jinhyuk's mouth.

It's not exaggerating, it really touched the ceiling more than 10m. The amount of magic stones in this place was beyond imagination.

It was so bad that my eyes hurt, so even if I had to describe it any more, my mouth hurts.

right then

Kang Byung-chan, who was standing with a stiff face, carefully opened his mouth.

I heard from PD Choi, and player Jinhyuk Kang said he was trying to absorb mana in the magic stone. Am I right?

Yes. I intend to use it for that purpose.

Then, can I make a suggestion?

Kang Byung-chan's voice trembled thinly.

Can you feel how much pain I struggled for 30 minutes to get these words out?

cute.

It's like looking at you like a dog that's in trouble.

Jinhyuk smiled and nodded his head.

"Let's hear it."

"As you probably know, the amount of Magic Stones we have is beyond imagination. As the lowest level, we have about 35,000 Magic Stones. We will provide them to player Jinhyuk Kang unlimitedly. Until tomorrow at 7am. I mean, I'll give you everything you can absorb.

Kang Byung-chan said as if he had a great heart.

However, the intention was clearly visible in Jinhyuk's eyes.

'The absorption rate of Magic Stone is being evaluated as atrocious.'

No matter how good the absorption rate is, it will take more than 5 minutes to absorb one of the lowest level magic crystals.

As long as there is a time limit of 7 in the morning, no player could absorb the 500 million won worth of Magic Stones.

In other words, the magic stones piled up like a mountain were a good bait.

In fact, it is said that even if you pack porridge all night long, it will be difficult to absorb 100 million won from time to time.

Kang Byung-chan waited anxiously for Jin-hyuk's answer.

An opportunity to cut the loss by one-fifth.

The face of a con man who longs for Hogu to go all-in on his fortune... It's probably similar to that middle-aged man.

great.

If that's the case, let me fish you. well that's hard

"Okay. Until tomorrow morning at 7 am. I will use only as much magic crystals as I can absorb."

Huh, huh! Me, really?

Why are you so surprised? Like you caught a hukou?

Haha... That's right. I'm just saying that it's good to reach an agreement that is mutually beneficial...

Yes. Yes. Do you want to be shy.

That's enough to hear the dog whistle.

Jinhyuk waved his hand as if it was bothering him.

Kang Byung-chan was worried that Jin-hyuk would change his mind. I quickly ran towards the door.

Of course, I forgot to add a word.

"Just in case, there are anti-theft spells on the Spirit Stones. It would be impossible to put them in the subspace inventory."

Don't worry. I'll see you in the morning then.

at the end of that word.

thud!

The door is closed.

[Time Remaining: 11h:59m:59s]

Only 12 hours left until morning.

The timer displayed on the screen started to decrease little by little.

However, despite the fact that he had to absorb the Magic Stone in a hurry, Jinhyuk was not in a hurry.

Instead, I slowly opened the subspace inventory.

'Obviously, I said you shouldn't put magic crystals inside. Didn't you say not to take out what's in your inventory?'

So, there is no violation of conditions.

Our sweet potato. Come on out.

Jinhyuk stretched out his palm toward the other side of the subspace inventory.

OK.

wobbly twitch!

A reptile with black skin and yellow eyes walked out.

ancient species. it was sweet potato

mosquito!

Yeah. You were very lonely because you were in there, didn't you?

Jinhyuk hugged the sweet potato and gave him a passionate love.

The sweet potato also licked Jinhyuk's cheeks with his tongue. This must mean it's nice.

The cool touch and the way he tilted his head was insanely lovely.

Nothing else. I called because I thought I was hungry.

35,000 Spirit Stones.

Obviously, the amount is so large that a typical player would get tired of absorbing it.

However, if it is an ancient species that has just hatched from an egg and is spewing out a huge appetite... .

The amount of magic crystals here is by no means large.

Rather, it is insufficient.

mosquito?

The sweet potato moved her head left and right cutely. A small tail fluttered when asked to feed.

Yeah. Everything in front of me is your mosquito.

so.

"Eat them all."

Jinhyuk sighed coldly.

There was no sympathy or hesitation mixed there.

'I looked like an idiot who didn't even know the absorption rate. .'

To put your head down and make an apology like this on a board that wouldn't be enough.

It makes me realize just how stupid it was to the point of uprooting the broadcasting station's roots.

next day.

Director Kang Byung-chan, who was on his way to work, hummed continuously.

I couldn't help but be excited.

Thanks to PD Choi's advice, I was able to make up for a loss that was hard to just ignore.

Moreover, the fact that they can feed a cheeky kid who gave them one shot with a casual face, the corners of their mouths also turned upward.

'Money is money, but this is more refreshing.'

As long as I can't be friends with the other person anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to sleep comfortably at night, even if it's cool inside?

It is said that after the 8th shift, when the suspension was decided, the Black Fortune Guild and the Chinese Guild would send a high-ranking ranker.

There was no doubt that the program would continue to walk on a solid road in the future.

Oh, are you here? Director. Good morning.

One employee greeted me at a 90 degree angle.

Uh. Yeah. Good morning for Deputy Park too. Don't sweat too much from the early hours and drink a cup of coffee at a time. Heh heh.

It was Kang Byung-chan, known as a tiger.

As of today, she burst into laughter with a factored face.

A light footstep followed.

After putting down his briefcase in the office, Kang Byung-chan received a report from his secretary about his schedule for today. Then, I headed straight to the magical stone storage warehouse in the basement of the broadcasting station.

pounding! pounding! pounding!

My heart was beating rapidly with anticipation and excitement.

'Well then, how many magic stones did our celebrity actually absorb?'

Kang Byung-chan rubbed his palms and opened the door.

By the way.

Hey, how did this happen...

Kang Byung-chan, who checked the inside, had to take a big breath.

A horrifying sight inside that is hard to believe even when looking at it.

"No, that's ridiculous. Where the hell did all that go?"

empty

All of the 35,000 magic crystals had disappeared.

The only thing on the floor was pieces of debris that appeared to be magic crystals.

mosquito!

A reptile rolls around with its short legs clasping its full belly.

And.

Ah. Director is here? I'm sorry, but if there are any leftovers, can we get some more? It seems our child is still a little lacking.

Only Jin-hyeok, who was smiling the brightest in the world, remained.
