Chapter 105 – #16. King Woohak (5)
Let’s think for a moment.
Could that be what the upper echelons of Pony were so wary of?
‘The reason why I made something not funny called a gift certificate coin and couldn’t use the coins I earned in missions for my abilities.’
Not only that, but the reason why I desperately prevented my growth by remodeling the terminal might be because I was wary of acquiring the ‘special power’ I just talked about.
Even if I didn’t know what special power was, it seemed right that it was an ability that ‘humans’ shouldn’t have.
‘Then why did they allow me to use the store?’
The upper echelons of Pony probably don’t know that I use the status window myself.
The ponies I knew would have been afraid to tell me that they had been stolen from me.
‘If Pony had been managing my status window, she wouldn’t have told me even if I had the ability.’
It seemed that I knew roughly what tricks these guys were playing.
There are various missions, but the rewards for performance-related missions were measured exceptionally generously.
I would have hoped that they would give the rice cake of the picture of the shop, and spend time on the mission enchanted by it.
‘The usefulness of the items in the store is such that once you start working with them, you can’t stop. At first, I would have earned coins from other missions, but the contents of the missions could be updated over there, so I could have manipulated them as much as I wanted.’
A person is a being that cannot do well with satisfaction.
If you do one thing, your eyes will automatically go to something better and your desire will sprout.
I wouldn’t have been able to overcome that desire.
In fact, are you still full of thoughts of selling the status window and buying things?
“What exactly is the special power? I don’t think there’s been any change in my body.”
Is it just getting stronger?
It shoots lightning and things like that.
My heart was pounding as if I had suddenly become the main character of a fantasy film.
‘Isn’t this supposed to kill people too? I don’t think I can do that.’
It was my excitement, and it wasn’t long before it was proven to be a ridiculous delusion.
-The new ability obtained is [Increase Pleasure].
“… Pleasure amplification?”
Isn’t that a combination of words that I’m embarrassed to spit out?
“Exactly what ability is it?”
My lightning bolt What about fire? Wasn’t it flashy like this?
It was too simple(?) To be something that the upper classes were so wary of.
But the AI mercilessly beat me up with facts.
– When you have sex, you can amplify the pleasure of the other person and yourself. As your skill level increases, you can amplify it to a higher level.
“…”
The conspiracy is a piece of shit.
It was also a reality.
He said he would accept it, but it seemed that the upper echelons were wary of such abilities and would not have resorted to such tricks.
“Brother!!! Do you poop?”
I was immersed in my thoughts, but I suddenly came to my senses at the sound of Juni’s voice from outside and checked the time.
Twenty minutes had already passed.
‘This is no time to insist that I didn’t poop.’
I had to hurry up and pack my clothes and get out of the bathroom.
♧ ♧ ♧
My biggest concern lately has been whether or not to sell AI status windows.
I’m greedy because the performance is so good, but it was obvious that I wouldn’t be able to use this good status window 100%.
Moreover, when I think about buying things with the coins I can get by selling them, I think I have to sell them all the more.
‘The things I can buy by selling this are things I really need.’
I couldn’t help it, but it seemed like the right thing to do was to sell the new model and buy the old one.
“Whoa, I’m nervous.”
“Do you want some water?”
“No, I think I might want to go to the bathroom.”
Jun Kang and I had already arrived at the meeting place to meet with director Choi Young-ji and writer Choi Hee-min of 「There is a Prince at My School」.
It was their proposal that they wanted to see the face before finalizing the casting, and we had no reason to refuse.
Actor Kang Tae-ho, who played another lead role, Prince Candidate 2, was also scheduled to come, and actor Han Min-young, who was cast as the female lead through a closed audition, was also scheduled to come.
In a word, it is a day when all the main actors, writers, and directors who will be filming 「There is a Prince at My School」 Gather.
Because of that, Kangjun couldn’t help but be nervous.
“Are you not nervous?”
“Of course not nervous. I’m afraid he’ll ask for a performance.”
“Brother, is that enough? Aren’t you too low on self-esteem?”
“I wish I had a little more time, but it’s a pity.”
There was no more coin to raise the acting ability because the coin was robbed and raised.
Thanks to that, my acting ability is still 28.3%.
However, because the abilities that have risen over time are applied, on the outside, like Juni said, his skills are growing day by day, just like someone with talent in acting.
As the trainer saw me starting to look like an actor day by day, she shuddered at the mystery.
‘How much have you been taking my classes all this time!!! You!! I mean, pay attention to the class and listen!! He shouted a lot.’
I thought I didn’t have talent, but now I see that if it wasn’t for lack of talent, I had no choice but to find the reason for the change in class attitude, which led to an unfair misunderstanding.
“Uh? Who has come?”
Drooling-
“Hello.”
“Hello!”
“Hello.”
At first glance, the man who came inside was a man with an enormously large, well-muscled body.
‘This is Kang Tae-ho, who plays the role of Yoon Dae-hwa, the ace of the second baseball club for Nam-ju’s candidate!’
The peculiar thing about this person is that he actually used to play baseball.
He suffered a shoulder injury that prevented him from playing baseball anymore, and after that, it is said that he turned to an actor.
My experience as an actor so far was only in small roles, and he was a rookie actor, so the circumstances were similar to ours.
“Uh… You are really handsome.”
Kang Tae-ho, who was looking at me and Kang-joon in turn, spoke in a heavy voice.
“Ah! Thank you.”
“I look forward to.”
We were all rookies, so we were full of tension.
As I sat down, there was silence.
“…”
“…”
“…”
I was rolling my eyes at what I had to say, but Kang Tae-ho opened his mouth first.
“Hey, I’m a fan. May I ask for your autograph?”
“Are you a fan?! Really? Uh, sure Of course it does.”
Kang Tae-ho can’t really be our fan.
It was just a matter of breaking through the silence and starting a conversation, so we both actively tried to sign Kang Tae-ho’s autograph.
Even if he hadn’t taken the CD out of his bag.
“… Gee, you were a real fan.”
“Yes. I am serious.”
As we presented our debut album, I could see that his words were not a simple greeting.
That blunt-looking, tall manly older brother likes male idols.
I think this is why there is a saying that you shouldn’t judge people by what they see.
After signing the CD carefully, Mr. Kang Tae-ho put the CD in his bag as if he was very precious.
And at that moment, the door opened and people rushed in.
“So I just said it. That’s my friend! That friend is the one who can show me the picture I’ve been imagining…”
Jump-!
We automatically jumped up and greeted the people who entered.
“””Hello!”””
“Ugh~ What flowers bloomed in the office?”
A total of three people entered, two women and one man.
I guessed that the man was probably the author, and one of the two women was the female lead.
“Nice to meet you. Seeing the real thing makes me feel better. Director Choi Young-ji. This is my younger brother Choi Hee-min, the writer. This is Nam So-ra, who was cast as the female lead in our web drama.”
“I look forward to!”
“Wow… What cosmetics do you use? How come they all look so good? Crazy, crazy.”
Author Choi Hee-min confidently took a seat next to us.
In particular, writer Choi Hee-min, who stuck right next to me, observed me to the point of being burdensome.
The problem is that director Choi Young-ji was in the same situation.
“Heemin-ah, come out next to me. Let’s take a look at our male leads’ angles.”
“No! It will be here.”
“Your sister is working right now. Hurry! And even if you were there, would you be anything but squid?”
“Chit!”
Writer Choi Hee-min got annoyed at director Choi Young-ji’s words, but got up from his seat.
“Would you like to sit down for the three of us?”
“Yes.”
When Kang Tae-ho sat down next to us, director Choi Young-ji made a square model with both hands, put us in it, and walked around.
That hand is probably a camera.
“Wow~ crazy. It’s crazy. Also, I have good eyes. This picture is exactly what I wanted. All three of them get along so well. What about this angle Will everything turn upside down as soon as the fans see it? Nam So-ra, how are you? Those three handsome men belong to me.”
“… It is an honor.”
Writers and directors who make too much fuss over our visuals.
On the other hand, actress Nam So-ra, who was cast as the female lead, did not respond very well.
However, the director and writer were busy focusing on other things and were not aware of Nam So-ra’s subtle attitude.
I had more conversations with her writer, her director, keeping an eye on her.
They always treated us in a very pleasant manner.
Then director Choi Young-ji suddenly hardened his expression and told us.
“Is there anyone who doesn’t know what everyone is talking about our work?”
“…”
“…”
At the director’s words, all the actors were silent for a moment.
To be honest, it was because I had never heard anything good.
“Seeing as you didn’t say anything, it seems like you know roughly everything. That’s right. Newcomers who don’t know anything are saying that they are paying money and that they will surely go bankrupt. Still, the reason why you all received casting offers must be because each of you is aiming for something, right?”
It is always inevitable for idols to start acting.
That’s why he accepted the casting even though it was a work that whispered that it would be ruined.
Not only us, but other actors must have been cast for their own reasons.
“A life that goes as everyone else expects, isn’t it pretty boring? I know everyone is dying to ruin it, but I have no intention of ruining it. My brother is talented, and I am also talented. I want our actors to think the same as I do.”
The head of the department and the manager noona also said that this work would be a ruined work in the industry.
I was already anxious about having a new writer attached to a new director, but with the newcomer cast as an idol, it was natural for people to assume that it would go bankrupt.
Everyone will want to look into the head of the director with what kind of confidence he cast idols and actors who have never acted before.
‘I thought that since the investor was the writer’s wife, she wouldn’t mind if it went bankrupt, but it seems that wasn’t the case. Rather, I think he was grinding his teeth inside?’
I decided to reconsider my first impression of the writer and director, who seemed so lighthearted.
Director Choi Young-ji continued his speech.
There is only one conclusion.
It’s that everyone works really hard and shows it to people who think we’re going to fail.
‘It’s fun to come out like that.’
It was not a pleasant thing from the point of view of the ‘actor’ who decided to appear in the audience to sing the song in vain.
But what can you say that your mouth can’t say?
I promised to do well now, but it was impossible to know how the situation would change when I went to the set.
