Chapter 23 – The Stenographer’s Other Speed
[Achievement, 10,000 LP will be paid as a reward for completing the 『Second Campaign』.]
A notification that popped up at the same time as leaving the guardhouse.
Somehow it felt like Lucy was congratulating her.
“Oh, I should send it via KakaoTalk.”
Seo Joo-hwan sent news of his discharge from his parents, younger brother, and Han Soo-ah to return home now. After sending Kakao Talk to four people, there was no one else to send.
“… A hopeless human relationship.”
But that thought vanished neatly after a few hours.
Upon arriving at the house and opening the front door, words of congratulations poured in with the loud sound of firecrackers.
“Son, you have suffered so much. Thank you for being healthy.”
“It was a lot of trouble.”
A mother who held her hands tightly as if she was really fortunate and said something, and a father who nodded heavily and said a word.
“Oh, you seem to have lost more weight? Anyway, congratulations.”
Behind her parents is Seo Joo-hee, her younger sister who raises her hand as if asking if she has come.
“Hwan-i brother! Congratulations on your campaign! I can see you more often now!”
There was Han Soo-ah, who greeted him with a brighter face than his younger brother.
A sight I had never seen before.
‘Good night.’
It’s a different campaign than before, when I fell into self-loathing.
Somehow, I felt that I had finally been discharged properly.
‘How about if the human relationship is a little narrower?’
That’s something that needs to be expanded in the future. Right now, my parents and Han Soo-ah were enough.
“Sit down quickly. Let’s eat some food!”
Oh, by the way, the year of the younger brother.
“I’m home!”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled brightly and saluted.
*
After a pleasant meal.
Seo Ju-hwan sat down in front of the computer to write.
Ugh-
The computer boots up with a loud bang.
Damn crap computer.
I guess it’s time to let go.
“We have to look at the reaction.”
I was curious about the reaction of ‘Master of Ice, Moorim’s Achievement’, which started serialization while on vacation.
At that time, he was unable to continue his serialization due to his sudden return to the unit. Since the announcement was posted, the public sentiment of the readers would be fine, but as a writer, it was regrettable that I took a break right before getting on track. I was worried about what would happen if the reading rate collapsed disastrously.
Seo Joo-hwan accessed the web novel serial site ‘Geuljoa’. His eyes widened when he entered the works management and checked the statistics.
“Seo, 8,000 favorites?!”
I checked the numbers one by one to see if I was mistaken, but the result did not change. It really reached 8,000 favorites.
It was only 15 episodes, but I was puzzled how it could show such numbers.
“What happened?”
He entered the Today’s Best and set it as the date he posted episode 15. Along with the announcement, the rankings of the day that were last uploaded came to mind.
〈 Today’s Best – All 〉
1 st. 『Master of Ice is a Moorim feat』- Seohwan
“Really No. One… !”
He unknowingly clenched his fists.
Although it was only a flash for a day, and now it has fallen to the middle ranks, it was a great enough achievement. Rather, it is strange that it maintains the middle rank despite the absence of the latest series. If the serialization continued, 8,000 favorites would not have been a problem, but it might have exceeded 10,000.
He then checked the comments on the work. He was originally the type to avoid looking at comments to avoid stress, but now he couldn’t stand it.
– (No cooperation): Oh, you’re back Seo Tae-sik! The previous one was a bit disappointing, but how is this one?
– (Get off at NTR): Moorim Saekhwang is the author. No more adult stuff? My handwriting has gotten better, so let’s write rice cake shoes.
– (Three generations go bald if you don’t attend): It’s fun. Get involved! You have to row when the water comes in! If you don’t do it, the writer will be bald!
– (Fun novel reader): Wow. I wondered why the amount was so small, but it was fun so I watched it quickly. The author’s writing skills are much better than before!
Most of the comments were compliments.
Of course, it is not possible to satisfy everyone, so there were no bad comments at all.
But such comments are few and far between.
Most of the comments were that it was fun, and readers who had seen the previous work especially praised it, saying that the writing skills had improved.
But that’s for a while.
When the next episode was not uploaded, a number of question marks and somewhat frightening comments were plastered on the 15th episode.
– (No cooperation): When are you coming? I’m worried that the person who uploads two episodes a day hasn’t been updated for two days.
– (Get off at NTR): Hyung, where did you go? I’ll allow you until NTL, so come back.
– (Three generations go bald if you don’t attend for years): Do you want to become bald? If you don’t come back soon, it will start to peel off in the shape of an M. You know? The original form is stress-related, but M is hereditary, so it cannot be treated.
– (Mental Thresher): The writer is hungry. Just don’t write it.
At first, it tasted a bit bland. It’s not a bad comment, but a grumble made out of regret. However, when one day turned into two, and then into the third, the comment window grew giblets in an instant.
– (Buntang): Just go out and search. If that’s the case, you shouldn’t have posted it. Guys, come see me.
– (Get off if there is NTR): I don’t watch even if there is no NTR. Get off The writer goes up and down.
– (Swearing grandma soup): Mr. X. If you’re going to take a hiatus, why don’t you post a notice, you bastard writer? Just a year round never come back
– (Give me the next episode): Give me the next episode! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one! Give me the next one!
– (Open the door, writer): Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!
– (If you can’t read, you’ll get mental illness): I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! I’m going to go crazy! Let’s go out and eat lunch!
– (Grilled dumpling vendor): Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings? Do you like fried dumplings?
From comments saying that they were disappointed, to promoting their novels, or swearing in primary colors. After that, a line of comments from concepters that were even a little scary.
After checking the comments, Seo Joo-hwan muttered in frustration.
“Go, didn’t the notice go up?”
If you saw the announcement, there would be no reason to show this reaction, but it’s strange. As soon as he grasped the situation, he grabbed his forehead as if he was in trouble.
“Damn site error.”
When I am writing, sometimes this happens. A situation where a post does not go up even though it is registered due to a site error. It seems that there was an error when posting the notice.
It was already too late, but Seo Joo-hwan posted a notice as soon as possible. It is a work that is aiming for a fee, but it will be a waste if the recognition is not good. No matter how interesting the writing was, it was ridiculous that the reading rate was cut in half when public sentiment turned around.
After posting the notice, I believedly came up with other thoughts.
“… Thank you very much.”
Seo Joo-hwan scratched the corners of his eyes in vain, even though no one was watching. Could this be due to the disappearance of misfortune? Although he wrote several works in his previous life, it was the first time he received such attention. He thought of himself that his writing skills were barely begging for food, but he thought that maybe he had more talent than he thought.
“Should I use it right now?”
Seo Joo-hwan started his stretch by straightening and turning his wrists. Seeing the reaction of readers waiting for his own writings, he was proud as a writer. At the same time he felt strongly that he should reciprocate.
Then Lucy spoke up.
[Master, I recommend using desire points before writing.]
“Oh right. Can I raise it to grade B now?”
[Yes. And when I reached level 2, I was able to draw a skill.]
“Hmm. How many points do you have left?”
[55,100LP.]
“Do too many. No Isn’t that a lot?”
It seemed like a lot at first glance, but my thoughts changed when I remembered the cost required to increase the grade or the cost of purchasing items and skills.
In particular, in the case of [Blessing of Concentration], The LP consumed per minute was as high as 10. An hour is 600LP, so an hour a day, a month is 18,000LP. There really was no hippo that ate points.
‘I’ll have to work hard to collect them.’
Fortunately, there was a very wide range of LP sources, such as desire quests, achievement achievements, fetish collections, and sex fantasy collections. Right now, it seemed like it would be nice to spend it without saving too much.
“What should I do first?”
[Since you have reached level 2, I recommend you to draw a skill first.]
Skills can only be purchased once per level. For reference, the price goes up with the level, so it’s quite expensive.
Seo Joo-hwan bought a skill draw.
Tring!
[Use 20,000LP to purchase a skill draw.]
[You have acquired the skill, Holy Seed Sac.]
“A holy seed bag? Is it a set skill?”
It was a name similar to the holy hand he had previously had.
【Sacred Seed Bag (F)】
▶ Effect 1: Vigor increases very slightly.
▶ Effect 2: Semen becomes slightly sweet.
“Ah… It will be useless right now.”
Seo Joo-hwan’s face was stained with disappointment.
Energy enhancement is currently blessed by the dream demon, so there is no worry at all. And the second effect… I don’t know what to do. Semen is delicious, so what are you saying?
“Let’s raise our talents.”
[What talent will you raise?]
Currently, he has four talents: writing, gaming, education, which were originally his talents his, and the boxing talent he acquired from So-ra Jeong.
“Of course I write. I’ll post the other ones later.”
There was no immediate need for anything other than writing.
[Use 3,000 LP to increase the talent level of writing (C+).]
[You can unlock special abilities by raising your writing talent to B.]
He blinked at the first word he saw.
“Special ability?”
[This ability is unlocked when the talent level reaches B. For reference, the ability is given randomly and the price is 10,000LP.]
“… You take as much as you give.”
As the source of supply and demand for points was diverse, the use was also diverse.
Seo Joo-hwan pondered for a while, but eventually decided to purchase a special ability. LP needs to be supplied somehow.
[Use 10,000LP to purchase talent, 『Writing』, Random special ability.]
[You have acquired the special ability, [Stenographer’s Other Speed].]
【Stenographer’s Other Song】
▶ Effect 1: You can type without typos at an average speed of 800 strokes.
▶ Effect 2: When using a keyboard exclusively for stenographers, you can type without typos at an average speed of 1,200 strokes.
※ You cannot use words you do not know.
“Ooh, whoa!”
An exclamation like a scream erupted from Seo Joo-hwan’s mouth. Surprised at how loud the sound was, Seo Joo-hee and her mother her opened the door and went.
He managed to calm himself after sending the two frightened away. And he read the effect of his special ability his once again. His mouth widened as he read the effect.
“Ughhh. Amazing, Great. I won’t be chased by the serialization time in the future.”
A web novel usually has a minimum standard of about 5,000 characters, including spaces, and an average of about 5,500 characters. If there is a lot of text, it may exceed 6,000 characters.
But 800 strokes per minute. Even 1,200 strokes are possible with a shorthand keyboard. It was clear that the speed of writing in the future would be very fast.
“Lucy, I’ll use the blessing hour.”
[600LP is used.]
[Blessing of Concentration (1 hour) is applied.]
The blessing is applied, and you can feel your concentration and thinking skills increase. His head his was spinning tight and he remembered the necessary line of writing.
Seo Joo-hwan put his ten fingers on his keyboard her with a deep smile. He felt his fingers his itch at the thought of using his new ability his.
Tadadak! Widely! Ride on!
Seo Ju-hwan’s ten fingers played on his keyboard.
*
Consumes 10 LPs per minute. 600LP in 1 hour.
It is a somewhat burdensome consumption cost to use every time you write. However, Seo Joo-hwan did not regret the LP at all. If you use 『Blessing of Concentration』, You will be able to focus on your writing completely without thinking about it. Being able to fully focus on one task is a much bigger benefit than you might think.
He forgot the passage of his time and immersed himself in his writing.
Tring!
[00:00. 00]
[The concentrating blessing effect disappears.]
“Huh… !”
An exclamation leaked from his mouth as he woke up from his concentration. The blessing gave him increased concentration and thinking ability, but at the same time consumed a lot of physical strength.
“Let’s see. Is it about once an hour?”
When there was no special ability, it was one side every two hours, so the speed was twice as fast. However, it was not as fast as expected.
Seo Joo-hwan was a bit disappointed and licked his lips, but he was satisfied with the result.
“But. If you want more, you are greedy.”
At least, this was the speed created by the synergy between 『Stenographer’s Keyboard』 And 『Blessing of Concentration』.
In fact, in terms of writing, the time to conceive of a story such as setting and plot is overwhelmingly longer than the time to type.
Even if you write like crazy, you have to correct it if the story development is strange, and if you do not come up with the sentence you want, you have to think for a while. You will be able to write in a trance at the moment when you receive the occasional ‘Bim’, but in the normal case, the speed of writing does not increase dramatically just because you are a fast typer. In that respect, it was actually the ‘blessing of concentration’ that shortened the writing time, not ‘the stenographer’s typing’.
“This is enough.”
Seo Ju-hwan put aside his regret and raised the corners of his mouth.
Just being able to write one episode an hour is a speed that makes no sense. If other writers knew, they would be astonished at the nonsense.
“Shall I use it again?”
Seo Joo-hwan put his hand on the keyboard again.
The point at which only an hour had passed. There was still plenty of time left to write.
Today’s goal is a total of 5 episodes.
I was thinking of giving a gift to the readers who have been waiting without a promise.
[2,400 LP is used.]
[Blessing of Concentration (4 hours) is applied.]
Seo Ju-hwan’s fingers started flying over the keyboard again.
