Chapter 356 – Are These Older Sisters Not Good Enough?
As soon as Seo Joo-hwan returned home, he turned on his computer to check the effect of his newly acquired ‘imagination’ talent.
“Lucy, apply only 30 minutes of the ‘Blessing of Concentration’.”
[All right.]
The moment he used the blessing, his concentration and thinking ability rose. The article to be written for the experiment is ‘Retired Idol’s Healing Broadcast’, which is currently being published exclusively in Nobel Dice. I was worried about not being able to write well these days, but it was perfect for experimenting with my ‘imagination’ talent.
Seo Joo-hwan pounded the batter with excitement.
Thirty minutes to do it.
The effect of the blessing is over.
“Mmm.”
He gathered his brows together and tilted his head to one side. Surprisingly, there were no dramatic changes. It was a talent that I was looking forward to so much, but I couldn’t really feel what had changed.
“It seems to be working better than usual. But this episode was planned from the beginning.”
Honestly, if this is the end, it falls short of my expectations.
It wasn’t until two more hours later that I corrected that assessment.
“Crazy. How much did you spend?”
Seo Joo-hwan, who came to his senses after the blessing, blinked his eyes in surprise. The pages of the Hangeul file continued endlessly. He thought he had written as usual, but this was more than twice as much as usual.
‘The development was almost unstoppable throughout the writing.’
The decisive factor that allows the writer to quickly complete one episode is not the typing speed on the keyboard, but the time to think of the next development. If the sentences and developments that connect the sections are blocked, time is often wasted even if the next story and rough plot are decided.
However, while I was writing this time, the sentence did not get stuck. Even if I was blocked for a while, I was able to quickly recall and continue. This was the reason why the writing speed, which was already fast, became even faster.
‘It’s even a bit different from what I originally thought.’
The change didn’t matter. Rather, it was an unexpected development, but this seemed to be better. Rice cakes were sprinkled all over the place to stimulate the reader’s imagination, as well as sufficient probability.
‘It’s easier to think clearly.’
Did the original ‘writing’ talent and the newly acquired ‘imagination’ talent exert a synergistic effect? It was clear that this would be helpful for long-term writing.
After completing his first experiment, Seo Joo-hwan took the next step. It was the purchase of the special ability of the ‘imagination’ talent.
[Consumes 10,000 LP to purchase the special ability of the ‘Imagination’ talent.]
[You have acquired the special ability, ‘Delirium Play’.]
“A delusional game?”
Looking at the explanation, it was the ability to enter delusional mode by raising the imagination for a certain period of time. Seo Joo-hwan started the experiment right away.
And after a while
“That’s crazy.”
After the experiment, he frowned. It’s good that the imagination is maximized, but like the name delusion, there are too many irrational thoughts that don’t make sense. It was like finding a needle in the desert to pick something useful out of the thoughts bouncing around without focusing on one thing.
Lucy advised.
[How about using ‘Special Ability Conversion’?]
“It’s a waste of points, but… Aren’t you satisfied with this?”
That was the beginning of gacha, and it was an opportunity to realize that life is all about luck. All of the special abilities of the ‘Imagination’ talent came out to be flawed or unsatisfactory. There were so many different types of trash that were collected.
Still, he was able to pull out a satisfactory ability after putting in about 150,000 LPs.
【Time for Inspiration】
▶ Effect 1: Increases emotional ability.
▶ Effect 2: Intellect ability increases.
▶ Effect 3: Imagery ability increases.
※ This ability can only be used for one hour per day, and can be used in increments of seconds.
※ The increase in sensitivity, understanding, and imagery ability depends on the user’s experience and knowledge level.
“This is great.”
I was convinced by using my abilities. Even just the ‘imagination’ talent right away allowed me to write ideas and developments that I hadn’t thought of before, but the ‘time of inspiration’ that came out as a special ability gave me wings.
‘It’s so fun to imagine it blankly.’
As soon as the special ability, ‘time of inspiration’ was activated, all kinds of developments and ideas overflowed with one material. It feels like each development is being played as a movie in your head. It’s to the point of worrying about which development to choose from these. It felt more ecstatic to just sit in a chair and let your imagination run wild.
However, there was one problem.
Tring!
[‘Inspirational Hour’ is no longer available today.]
“Oh, no!”
Seo Joo-hwan screamed with an empty expression.
Did you say that inspiration is something that passes by in an instant? All the ideas that had flooded my head were disappearing like ghosts. Even when he hurriedly tapped the typewriter, he only came up with one or two out of so many ideas.
‘I need to take notes for the duration. Do not use it all at once, divide it appropriately and use it separately. If I use it in the section where I need to apply strength, the quality of important scenes will be greatly improved.’
From that day on, Seo Joo-hwan cut down on his regular broadcasting time and immersed himself in his writing activities. Even when he turned on the broadcast to the clamor of viewers, he spent most of his time writing without speaking. Thanks to this, the serialization speed of ‘Eun Ah Healing’, which was in the middle of being serialized, became frighteningly fast.
Of course, readers cheered in the comments section.
– I’m so damn happy to have five shows a day.
– But all five episodes are of high quality. Junnae is fun
– Lately, I’ve turned on the broadcast and just write without communication, but the speed at which I write is crazy. I want that to be a person
└ Because of that, all the viewers fell away. I got a kick for not broadcasting properly.
└ Writer Seo Hwan doesn’t seem to care about the number of viewers? How much money do you make by writing five episodes a day?
└ Still, if you turn on the broadcast, you should communicate. If you’re just going to write something, what’s the point of turning on a broadcast? You have to be faithful to what you do.
└ I turned it on because viewers asked me to turn it on. Also, my main job is a writer, but I am doing my job faithfully. Bullshit.
└ I stopped sponsoring because I was busy writing for the time being, but I’m sorry.
└ Five episodes a day, I’m happy, but I’d like to do some broadcasting as well. Game broadcasting was also fun. Good job League of Champions. If you hold on to each corner and run, you will soon be able to take the Challenger.
– The development of Eunah Healing is a bit slow. I wonder how many episodes you plan to write. I wish I could write up to 1,000 pages.
Seo Joo-hwan saw his last comment and seriously thought about it.
“Do you really want to spend up to 1,000 chapters?”
In no time, ‘Eun Ah Healing’ was running toward its 100th episode. It’s been less than a month since the first episode was uploaded.
‘There are too many scenes I want to write.’
The overflow of ideas was also a problem. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that 300 or 400 paintings would not be enough to complete it. The fact that the genre of ‘Eun Ah Healing’ is broadcasting, music, and daily life also played a part in creating an endless story.
‘Then wouldn’t the story be too loose? It’s important to end it properly.’
I consulted with Choi Mi-hwa. Upon hearing Seo Joo-hwan’s concerns, she dismissed it with one word, ‘If it’s fun, it’s good.’
– Write as much as you want. If it’s rather long, everyone will like it, right?
“You also?”
– Of course. It doesn’t matter if the development is a bit slow. Because every story is included. What’s more fun I upload more than 5 episodes a day, honestly, even if it’s slower than now, I’ll watch it, right?
Lee Seok-chan said.
“Give me the next one. Don’t worry about anything strange, write something, wrap it up. 1 thousand flowers? Since it’s five episodes a day, it should be completed in six months. To be honest, from a platform standpoint, it is welcome to continue writing popular works.”
“Are you going to finish it in 4 months?”
“Ok? Are you going to spend even a thousand dollars?”
“How about speeding up the serialization?”
“… Are you a human child?”
Even Lee Seok-chan, who always urged him to call him a wrapper, said as if he was absurd.
However, it was by no means impossible for Seo Joo-hwan, who was under the system’s supernatural powers. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to get out of the human category. He was receiving all sorts of talents and special abilities, including blessings, but he thought that he had to do this to be similar to other writers’ efforts.
But.
“Ah, but for the time being, it’s too much. I have something else to prepare.”
Seo Joo-hwan was preparing for a literature contest to be held in April at the same time as he was writing ‘Eun Ah Healing’. And today was the day he met his cousin and his Jeong-ho Seo to prepare for the contest.
*
Arriving at Anyang Station, Seo Jeong-ho found Seo Ju-hwan and shook his hand happily.
“Joo-hwan hyung! Me, here!”
“Yumma, you can see it even if you don’t scream.”
Seo Joo-hwan laughed at the appearance of his younger brother, who was completely different from before. Seo Jeong-ho, who was full of rebellion just last Chuseok, now wags his tail like a dog meeting its owner.
“How is Haram doing?”
“Of course! Haram has come home now. His older brother his also comes to play. How cute is our youngest. One look and he’ll hate to go back?”
Seo Ha-ram is Seo Jeong-ho’s younger sister who was born a while ago. A late child with a whopping 18-year age difference. Thanks to this, Seo Jeong-ho acted as if he had become a father.
“I wonder if I will have to become a celebrity when I grow up. Shall I show you the picture you took? Because I live by the taste that Haram sees these days.”
“Later. Let’s eat first and then go home.”
After treating Seo Jeong-ho with a delicious lunch, he took him home. Seo Jeong-ho, who came home, looked around the room with surprised eyes.
“Wow, is this your studio? It just feels like a writer’s space.”
“I wanted to create that feeling, so I prepared a few assortments. Sit here I’ll give you some money after the interview.”
“Hyung, I still have the one I gave you last time. It was even after registering for the academy.”
Seo Jeong-ho was recently attending an art academy. He gave up even a part-time job altogether and devoted most of his day to improving his drawing skills.
“Take when you give. Go and eat something delicious with your little mother and father.”
“My parents feel so sorry for my older brother.”
“So you give it to me? And it’s not just giving. It’s all about investing.”
“Investments?”
“Didn’t you say you were still in contact with Naru?”
“Ugh. He is a bit stuffy, but he draws really well.”
“How about cartoons?”
“… To be honest, it’s terribly boring.”
Seo Jeong-ho said with an ambiguous expression. I couldn’t understand how such a boring cartoon could come out with such drawing skills.
Seo Joo-hwan giggled at the words of his candid cousin and said.
“Naru said the same thing. I don’t know if it’s drawing or graffiti, but it’s absurd because it’s fun.”
“Oops. Does that girl say that?”
“If you twist it, you have to draw it well. You said the same thing, so why are you in a temper?”
“Sheesh.”
“Anyway, the two of you work well together. Then I’ll entrust you with the webtoon adaptation of my novel later. It’s an investment for that.”
“What? Really?”
Seo Jeong-ho’s eyes widened as if they would tear. He liked Seo Joo-hwan even as his older brother his, but he was also a huge fan of author Seo Hwan. But, did you think that Seohwan’s novel was made into a webtoon?
“Are you really going to leave it to me?”
“To be exact, if you and Naru work well together. Never leave it to two people individually. It’s about to break. You’re going to get a lot of swearing from the original readers?”
Secondary creations whose original work is famous are bound to be ground to dust if they are made carelessly. If Kang Na-ru was in charge alone, the drawing would be good and he would be criticized for his desperate cartoonish skills his, and if Seo Jeong-ho was in charge, he would be criticized for his drawing that looked like graffiti.
But what if two people who can compensate for each other’s weaknesses work together?
Maybe it can transcend the original. Of course, that will be in the future.
“Great. Cooperates properly with Gogo Naru. We will become a luxury duo in the comics world.”
Seo Joo-hwan calmed Seo Jeong-ho, who was burning with enthusiasm, and said.
“Anyway, let’s start the interview.”
“Ugh. You said you were going to write a novel about our family, right?”
“Okay. There will be some fictional exaggeration, but the framework will be similar.”
Seo Jeong-ho’s family started with his uncle’s illness and went until it collapsed once. Now, it has continued again because of his youngest son, ‘Seo Haram’, but the despair at that time could suggest many things.
The main theme is the lack of communication between families. And the existence of ‘happiness’ as a medium of communication. It is a process in which fragmented families are reconnected.
‘Sooner or later, I’ll have to get an interview with my uncle and mother too.’
The feelings and thoughts you felt at the time will be different for each person. It would be nice to emphasize the importance of ‘communication’ from the perspective of the three people. Before returning, he was also a person who was confined to his own world and did not communicate with those around him, so he realized how important it was.
*
The interview, which lasted for five hours, was over.
Seo Joo-hwan nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the notepad filled with the contents of the interview.
‘Definitely much better than just writing.’
I thought it would be better to start after all the interviews were completed. I have to discard the intro that I wrote before, or tear it apart and fix it leaving only the necessary parts.
“Go to bed today. Let’s go see Naru tomorrow.”
“Naru? So, are you going to Mr. Kang Pil-chun’s house?”
Seo Jeong-ho’s eyes twinkled. He was more excited about meeting Kang Pil-chun than Kang Na-ru.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and scratched Seo Jeong-ho’s hair.
“Okay. My senior decided to look at your cartoons.”
“Really? Really? Oh yea!”
“Hey man, don’t forget to get close with Naru.”
“Don’t worry about that. Even if I seduce him, he’ll become friends.”
“What? What kind of confidence are you?”
“Hehe. Even if you look at it like this, I’m quite a face that is eaten by women. There are a lot of kids at school who like me.”
Seo Jeong-ho said confidently.
“Hyung, did you say you don’t have a girlfriend right now? Shall I introduce you to some girls?”
Seo Joo-hwan let out a laugh.
“What nonsense is this?”
“Would you like me to introduce you to someone? Don’t worry bro. Believe me.”
“Tsk. That’s it, man. Who is high schooling…….”
“Ah, bro. Do you want me to repay the favor? Just talk There are quite a few noonas I know other than high school students. Everyone is pretty.”
“Okay?”
“That’s right!”
When Seo Joo-hwan showed interest, Seo Jung-ho was overjoyed and held out his phone. And he showed pictures of self-proclaimed ‘pretty noonas’.
However, Seo Ju-hwan’s reaction to his when he saw the photo was tepid.
“Let’s pretend there was no introduction.”
“Uh? Why?”
“My eyes are a bit high. In fact, I have no intention of making a girlfriend.”
“… Do you not like these older sisters?”
Time that evening.
Seo Jeong-ho blinked blankly with a red face.
“Juhwan is your cousin? Nice to meet you.”
“Oh, Jeong-ho, right? I’ve seen it once before I am Sua noona!”
“Sister? Oops. Sua, you look like a younger brother?”
“Wow! Is it the same as yours being small?”
“You can’t hear what a kid less than 150 is saying?”
“I am one hundred and fifty!”
“Sua, one hundred forty-nine and one hundred and fifty is the difference between heaven and earth.”
“It’s you!”
When Seo Jeong-ho saw the women who came to play at Seo Ju-hwan’s house, he understood what Seo Ju-hwan said.
Jung Ha-yeon, Yoo Ji-kyung, and Han Soo-ah.
The moment I saw them, I thought it was a celebrity. The three women who have steadily seen the increasing effect of the attractiveness of the ‘sacred seed bag’ have long since deviated from the level of ordinary people.
‘As expected, my older brother.’
When I asked why he didn’t make a girlfriend with that face, there was a reason. Since the women around her were like this, it was only natural that most women would n’t even come into her eyes.
It was Seo Jeong-ho who made Seo Joo-hwan more respectable.
