Chapter 302 – Episode 302 – Las Vegas 7P Sex Night (14)
[Congratulations! You have completed the scenario quest ‘1’.]
[The ‘Main Heroine’ sub-menu has been updated.]
As soon as I entered the heroine app, a message popped up.
Whew, that’s a relief.
At the casino, I only enjoyed the competition and games with Ye-hwa and Delia, so I was a little worried… I was wondering what would happen if the scenario quest didn’t clear.
But, thankfully, that didn’t happen. The quest was completed safely.
Scenario quests don’t have coin rewards.
Since it said the sub-menu was updated, I immediately went to the heroine menu and clicked the main heroine button.
In the main heroine sub-menu, it said that you could get hints about the main heroine after clearing the scenario quest.
——————————————–
[Heroine App – Heroine – Main Heroine]
◆ Scenario Quest ‘1’ Result
– Hint 1: Las Vegas Caesar’s Palace Hotel Casino, less than 1 hour of conversation time with the main heroine
——————————————–
?
“No way.”
Seriously.
Is this supposed to be a hint?
The only people I’ve talked to for more than an hour here are Ye-hwa and Delia.
Then that means anyone could be a candidate!
[Scenario Quest: ‘2’]
– Location, Time: Grand Breefer Hotel, South Korea, February 19th
– Connection: The better the room you stay in
Regardless of my outcry, the second scenario quest immediately popped up.
This time it’s in Korea.
February 19th is about two months away. I don’t know how the scenario quests are generated, but it’ll be easier if it’s in Korea.
Besides, since I can identify the people who came to Korea from Las Vegas, I think I can reveal the identity during the second scenario quest.
Please, just not that foul-mouthed Pink Dduk…!
It’s a shame I couldn’t identify the main heroine this time, but that’s not important right now.
Now that I’ve completed the scenario quest, it’s time to level up.
——————————————–
[Level Up/Rank Up Quest: ‘8th Grade Protagonist’ → ‘7th Grade Protagonist’]

——————————————–
[Congratulations!]
[You have met all the quest achievement conditions for the level up/rank up quest, ‘8th Grade Protagonist’ → ‘7th Grade Protagonist’!]
I’ve met all the conditions.
I immediately pressed ‘Yes’ on the complete quest button and received the rewards.
[You have completed the quest. Quest achievement rewards will be given.]
[You have acquired the item, ‘Random Skill Box (Grade: 7th Grade)’.]
[’1,000,000 coins’ will be given.]
One million coins.
Even though I already have a lot of coins, the more coins, the better.
Besides, there’s even an interest system, so coins were making more coins.
[Congratulations! You have leveled up from ‘8th Grade Protagonist’ to ‘7th Grade Protagonist’!]
[Protagonist, ‘Chun Jin-hyun’s ‘all stats’ will slightly increase.]
When I went from pre-grade to 10th grade, all stats increased by ‘1’, when I went from 10th to 9th grade, they increased by ‘2’, and when I went from 9th to 8th grade, they increased by ‘3’.
This time, they increased by ‘4’, so my basic physical ability evaluation is now in the 90s.
[The number of general heroines that can be registered has increased by 4.]
Oh, 4 people…?
I’ve only captured 5 general heroines so far?
This is a huge bonus.
[As a level up celebration, ‘300,000 coins’ will be given.]
[As a level up celebration, the item, ‘Random Item Box (Grade: 7th Grade)’ will be given.]
All the rewards went into my inventory.
With this, I became a 7th grade protagonist.
‘Then?’
The task is simple.
Eun-joo and Ha-rin!
Let’s register them as heroines quickly.
* * *
Tap, tap-tap, tap-
“Huuu… Christmas Eve is tomorrow, and what am I doing?”
Sweeping back her shoulder-length bob, Joo Ha-rin loosened her neck and shoulders.
Outside the Royal Hans Hotel where she was staying, the streets were filled with sparkling, beautiful lights.
The Christmas trees placed everywhere were magnificent, and couples were taking pictures in front of them.
And it wasn’t even Christmas Eve yet!
People were already getting into the Christmas Eve mood.
The countless LED lights seemed to prove that there were so many people in love.
Snow was falling heavily outside the window. Judging by the pace, it seemed like it would continue for days.
According to the weather forecast, this Christmas would be a white Christmas.
“I’m so jealous of the couples…”
Joo Ha-rin murmured, her pretty cherry-red lips moving.
The thought of wanting to be happy with a boyfriend suddenly popped into Joo Ha-rin’s head.
Honestly, she usually didn’t think anything when she saw couples being lovey-dovey.
It was just a feeling of ‘oh, okay?’
Since she didn’t express her emotions well except for Jin-hyun, Eun-joo, and Min Ji-ah, she didn’t think much about dating.
But, on special days like today, she sometimes felt lonely.
And once her loneliness exploded, she couldn’t stand the emptiness for that day.
‘Ugh. But, what can I do.’
Just because she couldn’t stand it didn’t mean there was a solution.
It was just sad.
“Am I going to become a wizard at this rate…!?”
There’s a saying that men become wizards if they’re virgins until they’re 25.
Min Ji-ah often cackled, saying that 50% of the viewers watching her broadcasts were virgin wizards. Recently, there was talk that the standard had risen to 30 years old… Anyway.
Joo Ha-rin could date if she wanted to, but there was no one she liked.
From men who confessed out of the blue, to men who had given her lecherous looks when she was in college.
Even today, since it was almost Christmas Eve, men she hadn’t even talked to much sent her gifts through messages.
Even though they weren’t even in a relationship.
It would be easy to date if she just picked one of these men, but that wasn’t what Joo Ha-rin wanted.
She wanted to date someone who made her feel comfortable and who she could truly be with for a long time. That was her heart’s desire.
She didn’t accept any of the gifts the men sent. She didn’t want to give them the wrong idea.
“Anyway, let’s get back to writing my novel…!”
Joo Ha-rin slapped her own cheeks.
She had been thinking useless thoughts.
Joo Ha-rin typed on the keyboard in front of her computer.
After concentrating for about two hours, she took a short break while looking at her phone.
She roughly dismissed another message from a man and entered the group chat with Eun-joo and Jin-hyun.
At the end of the chat, there were three photos that Jin-hyun had sent.
“Jin-hyun… he’s just a subtle king of showing off.”
The photos Jin-hyun sent were all amazing.
A grand photo of the scenery from a very high Ferris wheel, a selfie taken on the street, and a cool photo of the hotel lobby.
He was traveling a lot and having fun.
You could feel it just by looking at the photos. Lucky him.
He said he went to Las Vegas with a friend, but he didn’t say who that friend was.
Maybe it was the part-timer he had seen when he went to the cafe before?
It seemed like they were dating.
“Huu, Ha-yoon, you have fun…!”
Ha-yoon was the name of the protagonist in Joo Ha-rin’s novel.
Thinking that she also wanted to have fun like that someday, Joo Ha-rin grabbed the keyboard again.
Thump-!
“Haa…!?”
That’s when it happened.
Joo Ha-rin’s heart suddenly beat loudly.
“Ugh, what is this…? A thread…?”
Feeling something strange, she looked at her chest and saw a red thread connected to her chest from somewhere.
It was a thread that had come through the hotel from far outside the window.
It was so taut that the end couldn’t be seen.
What the heck was it?
Rub rub-
At the impossible sight, Joo Ha-rin rubbed her eyes and looked at her chest again.
“Huh? Did I see things…?”
And this time, the thread had quickly disappeared.

“Ooh…”
Looking at the capture styles for Joo Ha-rin that appeared on my phone, I fell into thought.
Three capture styles.
All three were capture styles I had seen in the past.
The last one was the style I chose when I captured Yoon Yoo-jung noona, but I had never chosen the other two styles before.
Hmm.
Which one should I choose?
I rested my chin on my hand.
