Chapter 215 – Gathering Connections (4)
The items in the vending machine change every day.
Of course, I could fix the items I liked so they wouldn’t change, so I had essential items like birth control pills and pleasure enhancers fixed, but not the rest.
So, the items change every time…
“This is nice.”
Until now, nothing really caught my eye, so I hadn’t bought anything other than my usual items, but this time the items were quite appealing.
Especially that item, ‘You, become my dog!’, I think it came out once before. I probably couldn’t buy it back then because I had only 1,000 coins or so, but now I could buy 1,000 of them.
‘This would be perfect to use on Sujeong and Yewha…?’
Or Dajeong or Yujeong noona. It would be pretty good to use on Delia too.
I glanced to the side, and Delia met my eyes and gave me a bright smile.
‘Should I just use it all during this gourmet trip?’
Anyway, the purchase is confirmed.
Just in case I might end up in a 5P or more situation later.
Right now, I’m a big tycoon with over 2 million coins, so I splurged and bought three of each item.
Then, I immediately paid 100,000 coins to the vending machine.
“100,000 coins have been received.”
“The Black Room will be upgraded. The skill name and description will change.”
The skill description will change?
I immediately tapped on the Black Room skill description.
[ Black Hallway ]
◆ Rank: 07
◆ Description: A skill upgraded from the Black Room. When the skill is used, a portal that can move to the subspace Black Hallway opens.
◆ Options
1. Black Hallway (Active)
– Cooldown and Consumption: None
– First Use: Creates a portal to the subspace ‘Black Hallway’. When used inside the ‘Black Hallway’, it creates a portal to the most recent location before entering the Black Hallway.
– Second Use: Closes the portal created in the first use.
“Hmm?”
The Black Room just changed its name to Black Hallway, but it didn’t seem like the skill itself had changed much.
“Jinhyun-nim, the upgrade is complete.”
“Really? It doesn’t seem much different… Ah.”
Looking around the room, I was puzzled by the fact that it looked exactly the same as before, but then I looked at the vending machine area and gasped.
The vending machine was gone.
Instead, a door had appeared where the vending machine used to be.
The Black Room originally had no doors, so this was the first one.
Click-
“Oh.”
When I opened the door and went out, a luxurious hallway that looked like something out of a movie unfolded.
The ceiling was incredibly high, and a chandelier was shining beautifully.
The long, wide hallway had a total of 12 doors on both sides.
When I opened each door, they all revealed rooms of the same size and design as the previous Black Room.
“This is amazing?”
When I reached the end of the hallway, there was a fork in the road. The left was a bathroom, and the right was a bathhouse. The size was almost like a large hot spring.
“But did the vending machine disappear completely?”
“No. It’s at the very beginning of the hallway.”
I turned around and walked back, and I saw the vending machine embedded at the end of the hallway.
But there were two, not one.
The vending machine on the left was the one I had seen before, and the second vending machine was one I had never seen before.
“Exciting sex life~! Your partner, Black Hallway Sex Life Helper Vending Machine No. 2~!”
“With this vending machine, you can manage the cleanliness of the Black Hallway and manage portals~!”
I muttered while looking at the vending machine.
“Portal management?”
Delia answered from beside me.
“Yes. With the upgrade, it’s now possible to summon portals that are always open, in addition to the portals that Jinhyun-nim summons directly with your skill.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. You can also make it so that only certain people can use the portal, or make it invisible to others, so you don’t have to worry about any possible incidents.”
“Oh.”
That was convenient.
If I set up a portal in our house, it meant that I could open a portal and return home from anywhere.
Before, even if I opened a portal, if I opened a new portal somewhere else, the original portal would disappear.
It was impossible to open a portal at home and return from another place, but now it was possible.
‘And if I think about it.’
I could just go back and forth overseas too.
If I opened a portal overseas that only I and my heroines could cross, it would be possible to go anywhere through the Black Hallway.
‘Hmm, first, I’ll create a portal to my house.’
Just for my current heroines.
I set it up so that only me, Delia, Sujeong, Yewha, Dajeong, and Yujeong noona could see and move through the portal.
Now that there are many rooms, I should assign one to each heroine.
“Ria, which room do you want to use?”
Actually, all the rooms were the same size, so I wondered if there was any point in choosing, but I asked anyway.
“Ah, I… Which room will Jinhyun-nim use?”
“I’ll use the Black Room where we used to stay.”
“Then I’ll take the room right next to it…”
I knew she would say that.
So, Ria took the room next to mine, and Sujeong took the room on the opposite side.
“Is this your clothes too, Ria?”
“Yes, I went shopping with Sujeong unnie and bought them.”
“They’re pretty. Wear them when we go on a date next time.”
“Yes, I will.”
After roughly assigning the rooms, I helped move Ria’s clothes and belongings from my old Black Room.
“Uhm, Jinhyun-nim…”
Well, of course, we ended up making eye contact, kissing, and having sex…
“Jinhyun-ah! My broadcast is over… Huh? A door? Wow… Amazing.”
I explained the upgraded Black Room to Sujeong, who joined us late, and we enjoyed a 3P.
Although we each had our own rooms, Yewha, Dajeong, and Yujeong noona hadn’t joined us yet, so we still fell asleep together in one bed.
******
The next morning.
I woke up early and practiced the Thousand Mile Flame Qi Gong with Delia as usual. Then, I dressed neatly and went to work at the cafe.
“Haa, this is nice.”
The autumn breeze is very refreshing.
I walked to the cafe as a stroll, and as expected, the door was open.
I thought I was arriving early at 7:20, but the opening part-time workers, including Yujeong noona, had already started preparing.
“Oh, boss! Good morning~! Hee. Did you have a good trip?”
As I entered, a female part-time worker near the employee entrance greeted me first.
A bright-looking part-time worker with long, flowing hair.
“Yes, I had a good trip. But is there something good going on? You look happy.”
“Hehe. It’s about the bet, the bet. I won this time.”
The cafe part-time worker made a V sign and smiled victoriously.
“Mint Chocolate Latte ranked in the TOP 5 most popular drinks! Perfect idea!”
Her name was Lee Shinah.
She was a part-time worker who had been with the cafe since it opened. She was a friend that Yujeong noona had brought, and she was a very high-tension girl.
She was also the first part-time worker to strongly insist that a mint chocolate latte must be on the menu, and her opinion was reflected in the menu.
“TOP 5? Is the Mint Chocolate Latte that popular?”
“Yes, do you want to see? Look, look~? In the drinks section, sales rate, 4th place overall~. I bet on whether it would be in the top 10 or not, and I won, hehe.”
“With whom?”
“With your girlfriend, boss.”
Ah, Yujeong noona.
At the cafe, it was known that Yujeong noona and I were practically dating. Speak of the devil, Yujeong noona appeared with a pout.
“Ugh… That was an accident. How can the Mint Chocolate Latte be in 4th place in sales?”
“Hehe. You have to read the trend of the times~.”
“Ah, let’s do it again, again.”
“Oh, call? Are you confident?”
Shinah teased Yujeong noona.
“Call, of course.”
“What will we bet on this time?”
“Hmm, the same as the sales ranking. How about the person who guesses the closest to the ranking gets to buy a pizza gift certificate?”
“Okay, that’s it.”
While I was listening to their conversation, Shinah looked at me.
“Boss, do you want to join too?”
“No, I’m not really interested.”
“Ah, come on. Let’s do it together.”
“Yeah, Jinhyun, let’s do it together. Pick the same thing as me, okay?”
“Hmm… Should I?”
As if I was about to change my mind, Shinah narrowed her eyes.
“Ooh, you listen to your girlfriend, where can a single person live in peace?”
“Ah, no, no. I’m going upstairs.”
“Ah, come on. Why are you so easily sulky? Hehehe.”
“Heh, I’m just kidding. Instead, I bought sandwiches, so let’s all share them.”
“Oh! Sandwiches? Awesome, that’s my favorite.”
Shinah took the bag from me and started discussing with Yujeong noona which flavor of sandwich to eat.
I chuckled and greeted Jeong Chae-eun, the part-time worker in charge of the bakery opening part, and then went up to the second floor and sat in my office chair.
“Haa, should I focus on stocks today?”
Money can be copied?
It was time to put on the Luck Tracker and work my magic.
But there was still some time before the stock market opened.
First, I entered the Legend League.
[ Death is like the wind, always by my side… ]
It was a game I had originally quit after hearing my parents disappear, but I had recently picked it up again. As my stats increased, the game was going well…
‘Isn’t this practically a hack?’
When I asked what I should do while wearing the Luck Tracker, the glasses showed me the optimal path in golden lines.
It was impossible to lose.
While I was on a winning streak today, my phone suddenly rang.
[ Yewha♡: Jinhyun, do you want to have lunch together today? ]
It was Yewha.
[ Me: Sure. Where should we eat? ]
[ Yewha♡: ㅋㅋ I’ll think about it now. Did you go to the cafe today? ]
[ Me: Yeah, I’m in the office on the second floor now. ]
[ Yewha♡: Okay, then I’ll go to the cafe around 12~. ]
‘Today, I’ll make money, have lunch with Yewha.’
After we part ways, it would be great if I could check if the PC room interior construction for Sujeong is going well.
After finishing the Legend League, I was about to start using the money-copying bug.
Knock knock-
I heard a knock on the office door.
“Boss! A customer is here~.”
