48 – It’s up to me who I choose
“This is Mr. Sounhui, whom I just met.”
“i look forward to.”
“This is my colleagues Yuri and Hyena.”
“… … .”
Why should I introduce this in the middle?
Even feeling like a sinner.
‘It’s like seeing a stupid artist who applied for an erotic illustration without thinking and then later realized that this wasn’t the kind of work and quickly edited it.’
However, the atmosphere between the two is too bloody to complain about.
Is it fortunate that there are no onlookers?
We were gathered in a sort of guest room attached to the party hall.
But being in a confined space makes it harder to breathe.
“It’s Hyena.”
“yes?”
I spoke to Hyena who was sitting still.
Hyena continued to smile.
Mouth not moving at all.
“Are you mad at me because of me?”
“Why should I be angry with you…?”
I felt an incredible sense of oppression.
How to break through ‘metafiction’?
Even if it’s glass.
Since when did Hye-na be able to write life?
‘Ha, it’s unfair.’
Why should I be caught in this cold atmosphere?
It wouldn’t be unfair if I had a different mindset.
First of all, what do you want to do with this atmosphere?
No matter what you say, the atmosphere feels cold.
‘……Let’s try searching for comments.’
The power of collective intelligence that brought me this far.
If you search the comments, you might find an answer!
No, actually, that’s an excuse, and sitting in this atmosphere without saying anything makes me feel like I have to do something to survive.
[Used skill ‘comment search’!]
[Currently, there are 3 comment lists that can be viewed.]
[Please select one comment you would like to see.]
1. Comment with the most characters in (Unknown Information)
2. Comments with the most upvotes on (Unknown Information)
3. The second most upvoted comment in (Unknown Information)
‘……Why are all the comments coming from unknown information at a time like this?’
Is it because I didn’t specify the keyword properly?
I feel the author’s sinister intentions.
I don’t have any major complaints.
These comments are often particularly gambler-like.
Well, should we consider it fortunate that this didn’t pop up in a dangerous situation?
‘Then go to comment number 3.’
There was no particular reason why I chose number 3.
If I had to question it, I might as well have learned the pattern of comments as a reader.
‘Originally, the highest number of likes in comments on web novels is for comedy drips!’
Experienced readers don’t fall for tricks!
[You selected comment number 3.]
[The contents of comment No. 3 are as follows.]
[Price for all users, then how would you explain the bonus rounds marked with a red ticket?]
[Likes: 57, Dislikes: 0]
“… … .”
What? How am I to judge this?
‘The writer’s son… In the original story, he sent them to the hotel, but behind the scenes, did they provide this kind of service to the readers?’
Even 19 gold, I am 19 gold.
I’m very envious… No, he’s a thoughtless guy.
Rather then who did it?
I can’t guarantee that it’s not me.
Unless the writer went crazy, he wouldn’t have suddenly filmed an adult film as an extra.
‘I don’t remember anything like that. It might have been possible in the IF format.’
Anyway, the feeling is very strange.
Because the me of the parallel universe is like that, and I can do that.
After all, this world is wrong.
unless something is done quickly.
“First.”
The one who suddenly opened his mouth in the silence was Yuri.
“I want to hear a proper explanation. For what reason did you approach our colleague?”
At those words, Sounhui widened her eyes.
Immediately, he hurriedly waved his hands.
“Oh no! I didn’t come for your husband!”
“Puff!!”
I wonder if the word ‘Bugun’ was quite shocking.
Hye-na, who was sipping tea, was choking as if she had a sore throat.
Besides, I was also a little stingy.
Maybe it’s because I just saw that comment.
“Ooh, we’re not like that! I-I haven’t even started dating yet… … .”
“Ah, is that so? I-excuse me.”
Sounhui bowed her head.
He seems like the most polite person out of all the extras I’ve ever met.
“Since they are living in the same room, I thought it was natural that they were related… … .”
“We are simply colleagues. There is never anything like that you think.”
Cheer.
At my words, Hyena and Yuri rolled their eyes at me.
I don’t know what to do.
“Um, if the three of you are colleagues. This will be an offer for all three of you.”
“proposal?”
When Yuri asked, Sounhui nodded.
“Yes, I want all of you to join our clique.”
“What do you mean by ‘clique’?”
“Just think of it as similar to your relationship. Let’s say they are comrades fighting together in this hotel.”
If you listen to the story, it seems that the competition in the hotel is quite fierce.
Everyone has to get out of here when time is up.
A chance to get a good item before that.
If you are a skilled person who will get a ticket and come to the hotel.
You will never want to miss it.
“What are the benefits to us by joining their faction?”
Was it a rather direct question?
Sounhui’s eyes widened slightly.
“……As you know, you have to participate in the game to get the reward.”
“Is that a reason to team up?”
“Yes, the game is basically a team event.”
Sounhui took a sip of tea and continued.
“Although nominally everyone participates as an individual. You can’t stop them from making promises in advance.”
Let’s make an analogy to make it easier to understand.
Is it similar to forming a team in advance and setting off in PUBG?
Definitely a good strategy.
When fighting alone, the limits are clear.
Maybe you will drop out without a hitch.
However, if you team up, you can start off with an advantage in many ways.
‘Of course, the win rate is higher than the individual.’
If we had started the game without knowing, we could have lost money.
Not a bad suggestion by any means.
“But why us?”
“As I said, it was because I saw Jihoon fighting. Besides, since it was the only VVIP period, I thought he was a talent that could never be missed.”
His voice is also quite confident.
They seem to have rated my image of fighting the volcanic wave quite high.
But there are still some things that need to be cleared.
“But there aren’t only good things about us, right?”
“Yeah?”
“If we form a team, we will have to cooperate with that side. Then, what about the distribution of goods?”
“that’s-“
It was when So Woon-hwi was trying to answer.
Suddenly, the door to the room we were in opened.
“Hmm, you really were already talking.”
Entering were two men.
One is a member of the Volcano Sect I saw last time.
The other is a middle-aged man in a suit he has never seen before.
“Kim Chun-shik, Jong Seo-han.”
Sounhui murmured and bit his lip.
The appearance of the two was quite unwelcome.
“hahahaha! This is troublesome, Sounhui. No matter how urgent you are, you hit the player.”
“…You’re talking strangely about being a player. I just found it first.”
“Ah, I have no intention of cursing. I would have done the same.”
The two of them sat in an empty seat as if they were used to it.
“Bar, nice to meet you, sozer!”
“… … .”
In particular, Jong Seo-han greeted Lee Yoo-ri with a half-desperate face.
Although Yuri was still consistently ignoring it.
That’s a bit pitiful.
“I guess I should introduce myself first.”
The man, probably ‘Kim Chun-sik’, opened his mouth with a laugh.
“My name is Kim Chun-sik, and as you know, this is Jong Seo-han of the Volcano Sect. Both of us are players making a name for ourselves here at the Perish Hotel.”
What the March Hare said.
Three factions rule this hotel.
They all gathered in one place.
“I apologize for the sudden interruption. But we are in a hurry too.”
“If you are in a hurry?”
“It means that we can’t keep our eyes open and take away talented people like you.”
Sounhui lightly clicked his tongue.
It seems that the man in front of me doesn’t like it very much.
“Perhaps you heard about the game held at the hotel?”
“for now.”
“Then the story will be easy.”

Kim Chun-shik intertwined his fingers and said.
“As you might have guessed, the three of us are competing with each other for hotel rewards. And to be honest, so far the forces are pretty much evenly matched.”
It’s a story that I was already predicting.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have come to you like this.
“For us, somehow, we want to recruit you into our respective teams.”
“Is that an issue that you come here on purpose?”
“Because great talent is so valuable.”
Well, even for them, we must be pretty irregular.
The main character of the original work is not only Yuri,
I also have not bad skills.
Even Hye-na is the owner of a fraudulent job called ‘Best Driver’.
Of course, we do not know the exact information.
The circumstances affecting the balance are clear.
“Is that the same for the other two?”
When I asked, So Woon-hui and Jong Seo-han nodded at the same time.
“My thoughts are as I said earlier.”
“Hmm! Hmm! So do I.”
Perhaps Jong Seo-han is not without selfishness at all.
In particular, he would want to bring Yuri into his clique.
‘Work is fun.’
It seems that our ransom is higher than expected.
Even so, I never thought it would be a position to choose one of the three.
This is an opportunity we never thought of.
“Well, of course, I am not asking you to choose any place for free. Because the skilled have the right to do so.”

Kim Chun-sik said with a confident expression.
“If you join our team, we will hand over all the rewards you get from participating in the game.”
So Woon-hui and Jong Seo-han’s eyes widened.
It seems to be an unexpected and unconventional proposal.
Even I was quite surprised by that statement.
“Then isn’t there any benefit to be gained from that side?”
“Of course there are conditions. If you don’t need the product, it’s a condition that you only sell it to me.”

Kim Chun-shik nodded and added.
“As long as I can somehow secure the necessary items, there’s no problem. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you keep the product.”
It’s an unbelievably good suggestion.
If you listen to the story, the game is made up of team battles.
Of course, not only us, but other people also participate,
At the same time, we will cooperate and acquire products.
However, they will unconditionally hand over the goods to us.
For us, it’s just a benefit.
‘Does that mean he’s confident enough to handle his own people?’
The other team members are not getting any compensation.
If you see him boasting like this, he must be confident enough to pass that much.
As well as advancing the story skillfully.
Obviously not an ordinary person.
‘The eyes of truth.’
I immediately tried using the skill on Chunshik Kim.
[You can’t use the skill because the opponent’s level is high!]
‘……A person who can’t see the truth?’
There is only one person who has not been able to see the truth until now.
Yuri is the original protagonist and reincarnated.
So, does that mean that the man in front of you has a similar ‘personality’ to Yuri?
‘……It seems he’s not really an ordinary human.’
Maybe there was more than a supporting role in the original work.
First of all, the fact that the ‘eyes of truth’ do not work is enough to be vigilant.
“What suggestions are the other two thinking?”
At Kim Chun-shik’s words, the two of them fell silent for a moment.
It seems that I never dreamed that such an offer would be made.
“…Join our clique and I will teach you how to handle chi.”
“What about Ki?”
“Here, it would be easier to explain with skills. It is the ability to circulate the energy of the whole body and raise the physical ability. It helps with combat as well as all basic activities.”
Oh, and this is a surprisingly not bad suggestion either.
Once you learn it, you will be able to write it.
After all, it means you can learn one skill.
Maybe it’s more useful than an unknown item.
“Then, let us teach you the swordsmanship of the best volcano faction in the world! As a bonus, even herbs that increase vitality and stamina!”
Jong Seo-han said in a confident voice.
Hmmm, that suggestion is fine.
As for me who defeated that volcanic swordsman.
I think it’s a bit ambiguous.
What was surprising was that Yuri showed interest.
To be precise, he was a bit flustered, but slightly raised his head at the word ‘herb’.
‘Still, I thought it would be nice to learn a swordsmanship.’
Anyway, all three suggestions are not bad.
It’s not a story without harm to us.
After hearing the explanation, I fell into trouble for a while.
Whose faction would benefit the most from joining?
At this point I wonder if Yuri want to increase mc’s stamina instead of lifeforce…
