Chapter 293 – Deokja Jang’s Agony
Choi Mi-hwa’s recruitment was successful.
In addition to its function as a platform, Novell Dice will also serve as a manager. Due to its nature, it was clear that Choi Mi-hwa’s ability would be of great help.
‘Looks like Mi-hwa is also satisfied.’
As a condition of leaving, I called for twice the current salary. If you show results there, you can even negotiate an additional salary. It was a condition that anyone could be tempted by.
However, it was not just because of money that Choi Mi-hwa accepted the job offer.
‘I originally said I wanted to make a platform. It was the manager who compromised realistically.’
Choi Mi-hwa is a huge print addict. It was a pleasure and happiness to read her writings to her. That’s why she wanted to create more works with her own hands.
However, in front of her eyes her, a’Nobel Dice’that fits her utopia her appeared. A platform focused on producing quality work rather than profit for the company. It is a ridiculous platform where a crazy chaebol invests a huge amount of money saying it is a hobby.
As her Choi Mi-hwa, her own utopia, her was right in front of her eyes, so she had no choice but to bite.
– But I have to hand over everything I used. Know?
Choi Mi-hwa’s voice came over the phone.
Seo Joo-hwan nodded her head.
“Of course. I plan to finish the serialization separately from the platform.”
– Great.
Anyway, there is quite a bit of time left before Novell Dice opens. Seo Joo-hwan had planned to finish Devil Eater before then.
‘It’s not a work I intended to write for a long time in the first place.’
From the time the initial idea was conceived, Devil Eater was a work that took a quick breath. There was nothing she couldn’t do if she dared to write long, but she didn’t really want to do it for money.
Mihwa Choi fully agreed with his words her.
– Whether or not how to complete the work is entirely within the realm of the artist. Write in the direction you think.
“Funny Books asked me to write longer.”
Even so, I got a call from Funny Books a while ago. He was the man who introduced himself as the manager, and he asked Seo Joo-hwan to write ‘Demon Predator’ as long as possible. It was to make long-term gains with the immensely popular Demon Eater.
‘Well. Should I consider that a favor?’
As he quietly mentioned the contract of 80 % of the settlement money, his tone was that since the company had done this much, of course, should n’t he be able to accept this request?
Upon hearing the story, Choi Mi-hwa became angry.
– That pig, obviously I said no! It’s not even comics, what bullshit! Joo-hwan-ah, ignore that bastard!
“What a kid. I heard you’re the manager of your company?”
– What is the manager? How important is rank in a small company like Funny Books? And it’s not our company anymore?
“Puh. I haven’t left the company yet, so it’s your company.”
– Oh, my heart is already in Nobel Dice, CEO?
A few days have passed since Choi Mi-hwa accepted the job offer. However, she hadn’t signed the contract yet. She said that she wanted to be in charge of ‘Demon Eater’, which is currently being serialized by Seo Joo-hwan, until the end, and she put off changing jobs a little.
“Anyway, no need to worry. I told you not to talk nonsense then.”
– Well done. Joo-hwan is not a person you can’t talk about.
“What are you talking about. I am very fragile.”
– Stop talking nonsense. I have to sleep now I have to go to work again tomorrow.
“Okay, good night. See you later. It’s more intense then.”
– … I’ll look forward to it.
The phone was hung up at the end of an embarrassing voice.
Seo Joo-hwan giggled while looking at the dead phone, then grabbed the keyboard again.
“Shall I try again?”
It wasn’t long before the Devil Eater was finished.
He used the ‘Blessing of Concentration’ and immersed himself in writing.
*
The test is over. It meant the end of the river.
A few days later, the results were released.
As expected, it was Jeong Ha-yeon who took first place this time as well. The chief has always remained the same. Instead, there was a change in the second seat. Yoo Ji-gyeong, who studied hard in the second semester, took the second seat. The remaining 3rd place was Seo Joo-hwan, 4th place was Jang Deok-hoon, and 5th place was Lee Seok-chan.
“If other kids see it, they’ll think it’s unreasonable.”
From the outside, Seo Joo-hwan and his party are a group that plays harder than anyone else in the department. However, the grades always lined up at the top from 1st to 5th.
It was because Seo Ju-hwan’s ‘educational’ talent worked. To be precise, it is thanks to the fraudulent effect of the special ability ‘Sex Teacher’.
【Sex teachers】
▶ Effect 1: D = 120%, C = 140%, B = 160%, A = 200% proficiency buffs are applied according to the favorability level of the opponent.
▶ Effect 2: After having sex with the other person (3 days), an additional 100% skill level buff is applied.
▶ Effect 3: When the user directly teaches, a 100% additional mastery buff is applied.
※ Buffs are applied only when together with the user.
The people who benefited the most from sex teachers were Jeong Ha-yeon and Yoo Ji-gyeong. In particular, Jeong Ha-yeon was originally good at studying, so she took first place more leisurely than last semester.
Jang Deok-hoon also saw a considerable effect. Effects 1 and 3 of sexual intercourse could be applied to men, not women. He, who always had Lee Seok-chan as his competitor, finally defeated Lee Seok-chan in his second semester grades.
‘Deokhoon’s writing has also increased a lot, but if I finish writing now, I’ll recommend paying a fee for my next work.’
Jang Deok-hoon was born with the ‘imagination’ of the potential grade A. In addition to that, his ‘writing ability’ was also B+, and he had a fairly high potential.
However, his current grade was only D+ because he could not develop his writing skills properly, but he had been taught by Seo Joo-hwan in his spare time and had just achieved C+.
‘It would be nice to start serialization at Nobel Dice. Deokhun will be enough.’
Seo Joo-hwan thought so and put on his clothes. He was going out for a morning workout.
“Whoa. It’s chilly.”
When I came out of the house, my breath came out white. After the first snow fell, the weather became noticeably colder. He decided to run lightly to the gym to warm up his body.
‘Let’s see. After working out, I ate, I wrote some articles, then I studied drawing…….’
Recently, Seo Joo-hwan’s day has been very busy.
Even now, it’s 5:00 in the morning.
Seo Joo-hwan slept only 4 hours a day, exercised, wrote, studied painting on his own, and talked with Lee Seok-chan about Nobel Dice.
However, he did not mind the tight schedule and worked on it inwardly.
‘Anyway, learning from someone rather than self-studying can quickly revive my illustrator talent, right?’
Seo Joo-hwan tried to make use of the latent A+ grade ‘illustrator’ talent obtained from Yang Hye-ji at the reunion.
Self-sufficiency of the cover and character illustration of the novel he wrote!
He devoted himself to self-sufficiency in painting for self-sufficiency, which he only dreamed of before returning home.
However, Seo Ju-hwan’s drawing skills did not improve as quickly as he thought. Of course, as much as he raised his talent, his with the system, his basic sense his had long since surpassed the level of ordinary people, but handling that sense was separate from talent.
Didn’t it take quite a while to bring out the full ability even with the ‘writing’ talent that I was holding on to before returning?
As an analogy, talent is, after all, a good graphics card. And in order to bring out the full performance of the graphics card, the CPU, the central processing unit, must be supported.
‘I need to find a good academy. Oh, you should learn to dance too. That should start in January.’
It seemed that dancing could be learned at Ten Million Studio, where Doyui belongs. She has been busy and has not been able to learn, so she has to spend the leisurely end-of-class season sparingly.
So inwardly, she made plans like this and went inside Ribbon Fitness.
“Big. This is it.”
Seo Joo-hwan looked around the empty gym and exclaimed a satisfied exclamation. He thought that the early hours of the morning, when all the equipment was empty, were perfect for exercising to his heart’s content.
“Huh!”
Exhale briefly and lightly lift the 100kg bench press. The second set added another 10 kg, and the third set another 10 kg.
“Whoa!”
After finishing the 4th and 5th sets with 120kg, Seo Ju-hwan took a long breath. Then he stretched and loosened up his body.
‘As expected, blessings are fraudulent.’
Seo Ju-hwan was able to lift 120kg of bench press in just one year of exercise thanks to the ‘blessing of Hell Chang’.
Blessing of Hellchang (1 day – 3,000LP)
▶ Effect 1: Male hormones rise significantly.
▶ Effect 2: All exercise proficiency increases by 200%.
▶ Effect 3: The recovery speed of muscles increases by 300%.
Because of this effect, he couldn’t stop using the 3,000LP blessing per day. Even if he eats normal food to his heart’s content his, he has a body that returns to his abs if he adjusts his diet for a while. How can he not spend points.
“You have to work hard not to fall short.”
It was time to do the next exercise with such a promise.
“What do you earn?”
A familiar voice came.
Seo Joo-hwan guessed the owner of the voice and raised his hand to greet him.
“Soo-hee noona, you’re here… Yes?”
Seo Joo-hwan blinked at the woman at the entrance. It’s because he wasn’t the one I guessed. Usually around this time, Lim Soo-hee, the president of Ribbon Fitness, would come and work out with him, and then it would be the perfect time to get together.
However, the person who caught my eye was a woman who looked a handful taller than Lim Soo-hee. What she had in common with Lim Soo-hee was that she mixed her body with him.
“Jangdeokja?”
“Can I call you Chelsea?”
Deokja Jang said with a sad face.
Seo Joo-hwan laughed at her words of her.
“Isn’t it time to give up on that?”
“Chit. I just did it.”
“What is she doing here?”
“Huh. Why can’t I come to exercise?”
Jang Deok-ja had an unresponsively calm face. She seemed to be troubled somewhere, and even she was.
Seo Ju-hwan shrugged his shoulders and wiped away the sweat with a towel.
“There’s nothing impossible, but you don’t usually come at this time. Why do you suddenly want to get a massage?”
It refers to the time when I gave Jang Deok-ja a massage every morning. He once tried to seduce Jang Deok-ja to get an S-class talent decision.
Deokja Jang took off her padding as she snorted. Then she showed off her figure in a courtesy white tank top and leggings.
“I heard from Suhee unnie. You say you’re exercising at this time these days?”
“Is not it. It’s been about two or three months.”
The reason Seo Joo-hwan changed his exercise time to dawn was after he made a promise to quit smoking with his relative’s younger brother, Seo Jeong-ho, during his Chuseok holiday. He started exercising at dawn to endure the intense desire to smoke every morning.
Because of that, it was rare to meet Jang Deok-ja for a while. Previously, Deokja Jang used to come at his workout time, but he moved the workout time without a word, so the point of contact disappeared.
Jang Deok-ja strode towards him with an angry expression and struck him in the chest with a bang.
“100 million! Why do you hit me?”
“Shut up! More right!”
“Hey, should I tell you why and hit you?”
“You didn’t keep your promise!”
Seo Ju-hwan asked with a puzzled face.
“A promise?”
Deokja Jang shouted with a tearful face.
“You promised to do it with me once a month!”
Only then did Seo Joo-hwan understand why Jang Deok-ja was angry. He opened the status window just in case, and it was as expected.

‘It was just frustration.’
I guess I was in a hurry.
If you don’t even bother and come to me directly.
