Chapter 108: Dungeon Conqueror (Part I)
"12,000 gold coins. ”
"How much?" asked Conou back.
"Twelve!thousand!gold!" said Ed clearly.
Wow couple
"Is it really 12,000 gold?"
"Yes. ”
Grano nodded.
"Wow! I've won the lottery. ”
His eyes widened and he kept blinking. It felt like he had won the lottery.
"There are treasures that are historically significant and have greatly increased the price. One of them sold for 5,000 gold. ”
Grano smiled.
"It's worth staying in the desert for so long. ”
Conou smiled too
"After subtracting my 3,600 gold portion, you will get 8,400 gold. ”
Granor took 84 gold bars from his subspace.
One by one, Cono places each bar in the gold box in its stock.
"Ah, yes. I sold Monique's set for 950 gold. ”
Cono was going to give him 30% of the profits, but Grano shook his head.
"I'm fine. Just stick to it. I've made a fortune. ”
"Man, you are generous. ”
Cono gave a thumbs up.
"Whew, whew. What are you going to do with the money?" asked Granno.
"Mr. Granno, I can ask you the same thing. ”
"I will use it to fund my research on rain-making devices and buy a great gift for my daughter and wife. ”
Grano showed a warm smile. He thought it was a doting father's smile.
"I will also use it for my family. ”
"I need to raise more money and then convert us to rental. Once I bought the house, the next thing was the building!
Conou was happy to think of buying a house and his own house.
"It's a good idea. Nothing is more important than family. ”
"You're right. ”
The two chatted a little and talked about trivial matters.
"Then I'll leave now. Granno said.
"Okay, go ahead. ”
"I'll see you later. ”
"Yes, I'll see you later. ”
After they parted ways, Con left the tower and looked up at the sky.
He stretched out his hands to the sky and shouted, "I've won the lottery!"
Today is the first day of filming of the regular show "Conquest of the Dungeon".
Ji-woo waited for the rest of the cast in the waiting room. The waiting room, although small, is large enough for one person to sit.
It's not that he doesn't have any coordinators or managers, and he doesn't need makeup or retouching his face.
Knock knock.
He heard a knock on the door of the waiting room.
Who is it?
The door opened, and Kim Chol came. He is holding the helmet that Ji-woo used last time.
"Here, Mr. Ji-woo. ”
Kim Chol handed him the helmet.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Producer. ”
Ji-woo accepted the helmet and looked at it. As always, it boasts an elegant design.
"How are you feeling today?" asked Kim.
"Not bad. ”
"Today, we're going to start with an interview in the studio. Then, after choosing the dungeon, you will enter our capsule room to begin the conquest of the dungeon. Once you're done, you'll be given your footage, we'll record the epilogue, and you're good to go. ”
Kim Chul explained the sequence in which the events took place.
"Just like last time. Is it worth filming 2 episodes today?"
"Yes. Today's content will be divided into episodes 1 and 2. ”
"I understand. ”
Hu Zai nodded.
"I'll see you later, then. ”
Kim Chol left the waiting room
Ji-woo put his helmet aside, sat down in a chair, and closed his eyes to pass the time.
How much time has passed?
Knock. Knock.
Someone was looking for him again.
"Excuse me. ”
He heard a woman's voice from behind the door. It was a familiar voice to him.
"Please come in. ”
The door opened, and a woman in a yellow dress entered.
She is the head of the popular girl group Mishita and a partner of Ji-woo's "Dungeon Conqueror" show.
"Hi. ”
Ji-woo waved at her.
Since the broadcast of "Conquest of the Dungeon" in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he and Suya have been in contact through Alth.
Their first impressions of each other are so good that through the messaging between them, they are getting closer and closer.
What's the best way?Ji-woo and so-ah are like friends in the game.
"Oh..."
Su-ah looked a little surprised as she alternated between Ji-woo's face and helmet.
"Ji-woo?"
"Yes, it's me. Now that I've thought about it, you've never seen my face before. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiu Ah smiled and approached his side.
"Hey. This is what you look like. ”
Xiu-ah looked at his face.
"Don't star. You're going to exhaust me to death. ”
Ji-woo turned his head.
Then, Xiu Ah changed the subject.
"How are you doing?" she asked.
"I have. I moved to a new house a while ago. Zhiyu said with a smile.
His family had moved two days ago and they were very happy with their new living arrangements.
"Ah, is it?"
"Yes. ”
Ji-woo pointed to the bag under her eyes.
"I see the bag right under your nose. Are you not sleeping well?"
"That's..."
Ahh
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
"No, it's nothing. Recently my schedule has been full. I couldn't sleep all the time. ”
"Looks like you're really busy. ”
"Women's teams are usually busy around the end of the year. ”
"You should still take care of yourself. ”
"Good!"
Oops, laughed.
"Then I'll leave now. I still need to greet our other actors. ”
"Yes, yes. Go on. ”
Ji-woo politely gestured to the door of the waiting room.
Knock!
But just as he was doing so, he heard another knock on the door.
He didn't even answer, but the door suddenly opened.
"Who are you?"
There was a woman standing in front of the door that I had never seen before. She is a beautiful girl with a cat face.
Shihua said, "You don't know who I am? I'm Yin Shihua of Fortune magazine. ”
"Wealth?"
Ji-woo tilted his head.
Fortune Yin Shihua These are names he has never heard of before.
Then, Xiu Ah intervened.
"Unouni. Welcome. She stammered and bowed her head.
"It's been a long time. I've heard you've been successful lately......"
Yin Shihua looked at Su A keenly.
"So you don't think you have to say hello, do you?"
Her voice was incredibly harsh, and her hostility towards Xiu Ah was palpable.
"No, that's not right. I went to your waiting room, but you haven't come yet. I'm just saying hello to you!"
"Whatever. From now on, make sure to greet appropriately, junior. ”
Yin Shihua said for a while and left.
Zhiyu, who saw the entire exchange, was completely speechless.
"That guy..."
He was about to curse, but stopped because Xiu Ah was right next to him.
"Hmm. Well. Sua, are you okay?"
"Ah, yes. I am fine. ”
Sua forced herself to smile. That just made her look more pathetic.
"The madman...... Well. Why did that woman treat you like that?" Ji-woo asked.
"Nothing. Please don't worry. Then I'll leave now. ”
Sua quickly stood up and left his waiting room, not even stopping her.
"Hmm. ”
Zhiyu, who was alone, took out the phone and searched for Yin Shihua.
''Part of the four members of Fortune. Responsible for visual effects. An idol with a sexy and cocky image?
Finding her on the internet wasn't enough to tell him why that crazy woman treated Xiu like that.
Cono put the phone back in his pocket.
"Hmm. This is worrying. ”
Jiwoo believes that there is some kind of bad blood between Xiu Ah and Yin Shihua.
She said that she would not greet Sua, which was definitely not the crux of the problem. No one would show so much hostility towards someone who doesn't greet them.
"What is it..."
The wrinkles on his forehead did not disappear for a long time.
Started filming for "Dungeon Conquest".
"Dungeon Conqueror" is hosted by Kang Seo-hee and Jeon Sung-guk.
"Hello, audience. This is Xue Xixi's cool speech!"
Jiang Xuexi, the woman whose face he had painted, supported her face with both hands and made a cute face.
"This is the city-state. ”
The city-state smiled and waved.
"Mr. Jeon Sung-kook. ”
"Is it Xue Xi?"
"You know what?"
"Know what?"
"Our Mid-Autumn Festival plan, conquering the people of the dungeon or conquering the people of the dungeon has become a regular procedure!" Xue Xi said exaggeratedly.
"I know. After all, I'm one of the hosts who host Dungeon Conqueror. ”
Jeonjoni made a heart symbol with his thumb and forefinger and placed it on his chin.
"Yes, yes. But it's clear that Dungeon Conqueror is stronger than ever. Can we see anything change?"
"Sounds good. ”
"That'...... There you are. ”
Jeonjook and Kang Seo-hee pointed to the giant monitor set up in advance at the same time.
Well!
Music and previously prepared videos start playing on the display.
As expected, the biggest change is that they will clear the dungeon level by level.
From level 1 to level 5, they will be rewarded if they successfully clear the dungeon.
They will try to conquer the dungeon, but this time the team is predetermined!
The video ends.
"Now!" the city-state began.
"Let's start with the introduction. These are the dungeon conquerors who are going to join us today, and these are dungeons!"
The camera in the studio focuses on the participant's face.
Of course, Ji-woo is the only exception because of his helmet.
"Please introduce yourself line by line. ”
Kang Seo-hee approaches the rightmost player, Park Bae-sik.
"Hello. I'm a streamer and my ID is a field warrior. My name is Park Pu Pu Sik. ”
"Ah, you participated in our Mid-Autumn Festival, right?" Xue Xi asked.
"Yes, I am. ”
"I still remember when I spit out that salty drink. ”
Jiang Xuexi smiled implicitly.
"I think that's why I was allowed to participate again. ”
"As I thought... Do you think you can succeed this time and clear all 5 levels?"
"Of course. ”
"A trusted answer for your ID. And then the next one..."
Participants continue with self-introductions and short interviews.
“... I'll do my best to avoid slowing Opa down. ”
Sua clenched her fists and finished the interview.
"Good. Next we go to Mr. Oga. Please introduce yourself. ”
"Hello. My name is Ogga. He briefly introduced himself.
"Oh, oh. They say you meet the enemy at the worst possible time. We're finally meeting again, Mr. Oga. ”
"Enemies?"
Ji-woo tilted his head.
"You are the enemy of my face!"
Jiang Xuexi behaved exaggeratedly.
"Then do you want to bet with me again? If I lose, I take off my helmet and show my face, but if you lose, I'll draw..."
"Hmph. I'm no longer interested in your face, Mr. Oga. It could just be an ugly face. ”
Jiang Xuexi's demeanor seemed to be very sulking.
Ji-woo grinned and let go of his hand.
She then proceeded to the next one.
"Hello, I'm in charge of the Fortune imagery. My name is Yin Shihua. She said with her eyes wide open.
"Ah, Ms. Shihua. I heard that you suddenly accepted our request...... Right?"
"Yes. It was originally planned to feature others on this show. However, in some cases they had to cope, but they were not allowed to come, but ...... That's why I'm able to appear on a show like this. Wonderful show!"
Yin Shihua's answer was very funny.
"She's playing. ”
Conou had already seen her "real" personality and therefore found her interviews despicable.
"I see. Oh, by the way. I heard that you and Ms. Sua were trainees at the same time. Do you want to tell her to do our best!" Jiang Xuexi asked.
Yin Shihua smiled and said, "Yes." Sua has always been a nice, friendly junior high school student, even when we were in training. She also has good singing skills. I really care about her. ”
"What, do you care about her?"
He couldn't believe what he was hearing. She's definitely psychopathic.
"Good. Next up..."
After Jiang Xuexi moved to the next interviewee, Kang Ou saw Yin Shihua staring at Su Ya.
Xiu Ah forced herself to smile, but her shoulders drooped.
Ji-woo patted her on the shoulder.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. ”
"Be strong. ”
"Good. ”
Ji-woo begins his first shot of the awkward dungeon conqueror.
The shooting went well.
"Let's go ahead and choose a level 1 dungeon. ”
Jiang Shixi gestured with his hand, and the list of dungeons appeared on the big screen.
"Ah, what is this?" asked the city-state slyly.
Jiang Xuexi said: "These are level 1 dungeons that our writers have carefully selected for us. ”
"Marlone Hill, Angar National Cemetery, Heiston Tower, etc. It's just that the name sounds funny!"
Jeon Seongkook raised his voice.
"There will be level 80-100 monsters in these dungeons. Once you have chosen the dungeon, we will tell you what tasks you have to complete!"
The city-state said, "Oh, oh. I would like to know what kind of tasks there are. ”
Jiang Xuexi smiled.
Jiang Xuexi replied: "Today, our writers carefully selected various tasks for us based on the opinions of the audience. ”
"Oh, that sounds exciting. ”
"We can't make people's choices overlap, so we're going to have participants play rock-paper-scissors to decide who chooses whom. ”
"Please elect a representative from each team and move forward," the city-state said. ”
"Which one of us should go?" Wu asked Sua.
"It's time for you to go. I'm not very good at rock-paper-scissors. ”
"Got it. ”
Ji-woo stepped forward. A member from various other groups also took a step forward.
"Now, everybody's ready...... Rock-paper-scissors!"
At the signal of the whole city-state, the delegates stretched out their hands.
Rock. Rock. Paper. Rock.
Cono chose the paper
"Mr. Oga and Ms. Xiua will choose their dungeon first!".
Ji-woo made a V-shaped gesture to Su-ah. Xiu Ah gave a thumbs up.
The rest of the delegates continued to play with paper-scissors to determine their position.
