Chapter 365 – Tenmillion Dance Studio
It’s already been more than two weeks since the empty test ended.
March 4th week.
Seo Joo-hwan was spending the day faithfully today. Even though he finished the manuscript for the competition in April, he was still busy.
“Don’t you think there are a lot of rotten, subtly interesting works? It won’t hurt more than I thought.”
Lee Seok-chan nodded as if he agreed.
“Is not it? I thought I bet too much on the prize money, but it seems to have worked out.”
“It went well. Thanks to the large prize money, a lot of named players participated. As a result of the dripping effect, the site awareness increased.”
“The purpose of the contest was awareness in the first place, not a trickle-down effect.”
The contest they were talking about was, of course, the Nobel Dice contest.
The Nobel Dice contest, which started in March, attracted the attention of many writers with a total prize money of 2 billion won.
Grand Prize 300 million, Grand Prize 100 million, Excellence Prize 5,000.
This is a huge amount that has never been presented in a web novel contest. Even considering the risk that Nobel Dice is a new site, there were enough reasons to participate as there were 12 people who received the Excellence Award. Not only for new writers, but also for established writers.
Lee Seok-chan checked the convenience of the app by browsing Nobel Dice on his phone. Then, he discovered that a novel he had been eyeing recently had risen to the top of the rankings, and called Seo Ju-hwan.
“Hey, Juhwan.”
“Yes?”
“What you said has risen to the 10th place.”
“Honey, did I say one or two?”
“There is that. Modern romance. Writer Woo Yoon.”
Seo Joo-hwan was able to think of the title of the work at the name ‘Woo-yun’.
“Overlapping wounds?”
“Okay. Didn’t the author say he was your friend?”
“I will… Girl?”
“? Why is the answer then?”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled vaguely. Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I contacted Woo Seo-yoon. He occasionally ran into Mr. Kim Hyun-young’s house, but Woo Seo-yoon was apparently avoiding him.
‘I want to be good friends if possible.’
It is good that she no longer mixes as a man and a woman. She just wanted to maintain a good relationship with someone walking the same path.
However, the person holding the key to the current relationship was Woo Seo-yoon, not him. He just decided to wait for her.
Seo Joo-hwan said moderately evasively.
“Anyway, that’s fine. Seoyoon’s work will go up. The way I see it, she thinks it will be number one in the romance category.”
“Is that enough? Mmm. Well, I’m not into romance, so I’m enjoying it. Oddly professional too.”
“Because Seoyoon has a tattoo artist among her acquaintances with her. The research is not certain.”
“Aha. It made me feel professional.”
“Rather than that, how is the martial arts side these days? To me, it seems like a drought compared to other genres.”
In this way, he was exchanging opinions on some works.
Geeing~!
Both phones vibrated at the same time. It was a notification that the latest episode of the favorite work was updated in the Novell Dice application.
3rd – [Mercenary]
A novel with a monotonous title that doesn’t fit the trend these days.
As soon as the notification sounded, Seo Joo-hwan started perusing. And soon he had a satisfied smile on his face.
‘It’s fun. It can’t be seen that it was written by a rookie.’
It was the moment when I finished re-reading with that thought in mind.
Lee Seok-chan made a fuss while exclaiming, “You are so big.”
“It’s fucking fun. This battle scene has come.”
“Is not it? Deokhoon has really improved a lot.”
The Mercenary, which the two read a while ago, was a novel written by none other than Jang Deok-hoon.
Lee Seok-chan said as if he still had an afterglow.
“Wow, I really can’t compare this to my previous work. Aren’t people on a different level?”
“I can see it. This is Deokhoon’s life work. Now this child is possessed.”
In his view of his, Jang Deok-hoon was showing more than his ability of his. He rode the so-called ‘spin’. Originally, thanks to Jang Deok-hoon’s talent his, vivid data research targeting Baek Kang-ho and his subordinates his was shining.
‘I was worried because it was a minor subject matter, but instead it became a plus because it matched well with Deokhoon. Even if this isn’t the grand prize, it might be worth aiming for the first prize or the first prize.’
I used to say it half-jokingly, but Deokhun Jang was his first student his. He hoped to write a good article by driving the current momentum.
And one more.
Seo Joo-hwan shed a small laugh when he saw the pen name ‘Neung So-hwa’ that appeared on the screen. Lucy also recognized him and said.
[This pen name… Is that Park Do-hee?]
‘Yes. She must have been working hard.’
Dohee Park. She was a very complicated woman.
She tried to trap him in freshman year and accuse him of being a molester.
[Yes, but I got hit by the owner in the opposite way. Maybe the first time you achieved the fetish deletion and additional achievements?]
‘Right. I really didn’t look after her back then.’
At the time, he turned a blind eye to the fact that he was almost framed as a sexual molester, and committed Park Do-hee mercilessly. In the end, because of her stimulation of her beyond her limits, the ‘homosexuality’ fetish was dropped and a ‘masochism’related fetish was added. After she found out the truth right after, she helped her revenge her and finished it well … It was not a very pleasant memory.
However, it came to me with a strange feeling that she, who lost her friend and chose to take a leave of absence, is now serializing in Nobel Dice.
Lucy asked.
[Are you going to meet me?]
‘No. I don’t think so. Well, I have no intention of avoiding it if we meet naturally.’
At that time, wouldn’t she be able to meet as a writer and a writer, not a man versus a woman? Still, if it was meant to be, it was hers, and I decided to hope that she could win the prize.

Seo Joo-hwan thought.
It seems that people are instinctively able to recognize the beings that are helpful to them.
That’s also true, the people around him used to look for him once something went wrong. Especially, even though he wasn’t directly solving it.
For example, in the case of Jang Deok-ja, who returned to the fighting world a few months ago.
“As expected, after Joo-hwan is with you, practice goes well. Ask again next time!”
When training was blocked, he would come out of nowhere, beat rice cakes, and go. If that wasn’t enough, they called him to the ring to engage in sparring.
The behavior of Min Ga-hee, who has the potential S-class ‘composition’ talent, was not very different. Whenever she needed her inspiration for her compositions, she came to Seo Ju-hwan. Now that she’s at this point, she wonders if she’s mistaken that she doesn’t love herself, but that she loves her because of the ‘sex teacher’ effect.
“I’ll give this song to my brother!”
However, she decided to put aside her doubts her in the part where even the songs that came from the inspiration she received were mostly for him. If you think about it, Min Ga-hee couldn’t hide his liking his even before he got ‘Sex Teacher’.
In any case, those who experienced the effects of ‘sexual intercourse’ instinctively wanted him. Even Jang Deok-hoon, a man like him, benefited from it and asked for guidance whenever he had trouble writing, so there was no doubt how great the effect was.
And today.
Another person felt the effect instinctively.
– Oppa, when the hell are you coming to our studio?

Seo Joo-hwan drove to the dance studio ‘TEN MILLON’. When he arrived at the parking lot, a woman with a familiar face greeted him and waved her hand to her. It was Yui Do, a woman with her hair tied back and wearing a cropped short-sleeved tee and jogger pants.
“Brother, here!”
“Even if you don’t shout like that, you can see it, bitch.”
Seo Ju-hwan gave a face-off with a sour tone. Doyui grumbled, frowning at her.
“Hey, look at what this brother is saying. I can’t sleep. I said hello at best, but what is that?”
At Do Yui’s words, Seo Ju-hwan raised his eyebrows.
“You don’t know why?”
“…….”
Doyui, who had been stabbed, averted her gaze.
Seo Joo-hwan got out of the car and put her head on his side of her.
“I said, I was busy, I didn’t!”
And he dozed off with all his might.
Doyui screamed.
“Kyaaaaa It hurts, it hurts! It hurts!”
“Later, come, I did, I didn’t!”
“It hurts! It’s my fault! Sorry! Kyaaaaagh!”
Seo Joo-hwan released her only after hearing her say that she was sorry. As she slipped out of her arms, she patted her hair with tears in her eyes.
“Aww. I think her head is crushed. Brother is in charge!”
“Your hair was already crooked.”
“What is my head!”
“Otherwise, I can’t think of contacting someone who says he’s busy ten times a day for a week. It’s an action only possible when there is a problem somewhere in the head.”
“…….”
Do Yui shut her mouth.
Seo Joo-hwan pointed at the entrance of the building with his chin.
“Hey Mr. Do, take the lead and guide me.”
“…….”
Do Yui guide him with a pout of her lips. She knew what she was doing was wrong, so she couldn’t say anything. But she also had her own excuses for her.
“I said I would come, but I didn’t come for half a year…….”
It was a small grumble, but it was clearly a voice telling Seo Ju-hwan to listen.
She twitched his eyebrows.
“What?”
“Yeah, that’s right. How do you know if he won’t come after talking again? I have to hurry to come like this.”
“Ohh. Our Sulyui, did you like Headlock?”
“Hey!”
Doyui got cold and walked away. Leaping in front of her, she looked behind her and shouted.
“I also went to the empty helper and helped! I’m busy too, but I ran to my brother’s request in a month? Uh? You need to know that. As long as a person has a conscience!”
“… Mmm.”
Seo Ju-hwan nodded his head with a moan. Apparently Doyui came as a helper and even took care of the MC without saying a word on his phone call her. And she said, in fact, she might have put off coming to the studio for a few more months if she hadn’t urged her this much.
‘Still, the fever is too severe in one day. He said he was busy.’
At that time, Doyui, who had gone ahead, came to the side.
“Brother, I am very angry… ?”
