102.
“Do you want to play Zenoris?”
What it means by coming here all of a sudden is to play a game. Chae Yoo-jeong looked at Kang Ji-hye angrily and answered.
"Get out."
“I came here because I was worried about Gyung-seok oppa. Do you think I came here for your benefit?”
After Chae Yoo-jeong returned to his apartment, Yoo Gyung-seok found out that he was taking medication again and contacted him several times a day to say hello. The same was true for Kang Ji-hye.
The contact was annoying, so he ignored it all, but the result was to barge inside his house.
‘I think it would be better to send at least a reply in the future, even if it is annoying.’
“For unemployed people who have a lot of time, the best thing to do is play training games. Try Zenoris.”
“Get the fuck out of here.”
However, the timing when Kang Ji-hye came to his house was not particularly good. Chae Yoo-jeong's current mood was at its worst. Chae Yoo-jeong finds out that Yoo Ji-han has completely abandoned Hero, so he played another game instead of Hero. It was an overseas FPS game called ‘Team Black.’
It was a game he had been playing mindlessly just to kill time. Then, just a few hours ago, he met a non-mannered user.
There are countless users who use abusive language or t-bagging in FPS games. However, the username of the unmannered user he encountered this time was surprisingly ‘I’m sleepy.’
The anticipation he had was shattered before even 10 minutes had passed. First of all, the voice coming from the other microphone was different, and later on, he even used an illegal program. There was no way Yoo Ji-han, with his high self-esteem, would play like that.
He felt so bad that such a scumbag was using the same username as Yoo Ji-han. So Chae Yoo-jeong wrote an incredibly detailed report and filed a report in the game company's hack report section. Since a video is attached, there was a high probability that the unscrupulous user will be banned.
“There’s nothing to do. I heard you quit Hero these days.”
Kang Ji-ye glanced at the empty medicine bag on the desk, sighed, and persuaded him again.
Chae Yoo-jeong needed something he could concentrate on. Otherwise, he would go back to being like a doll with no interest in anything like before. This was also the part that Yoo Gyung-seok was most worried about.
Fortunately, after starting Hero and becoming a professional player, he got a lot better than before... but he still couldn't be rest assured. He didn't know why, but since Chae Yoo-jeong quit Hero, he needed something new to have fun with.
“I have a guild right now, and I’d like you to come and do some guild work.”
“Why? You do it.”
“I’m a tanker. To grow a guild, you need to attract aggro from a strong dealer job. So please come at least a little bit. If you help me, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Rather than begging him to do something, this method of suggesting something at a cost worked much better for Chae Yoo-jeong.
“Just try it for three months. After that, I won't say anything even if you quit it. You’re still free this year anyway.”
“…….”
“If you change your mind, tell me. I'm going."
With those words, Kang Ji-hye left the house. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was left alone, looked at his monitor with his chin resting on his hand, face expressionless.
***
Chae Yoo-jeong, who started Zenoris, reached max level in 15 days and two months later, in the ranked match, he took first place in the Chain Blade class rankings. It was the result of an abundance of time, his control skills, and his money.
Chae Yoo-jeong, who took first place in the Chain Blade profession, changed the username to 'Yoo Chae' by buying it from another user. He then entered the guild run by Kang Ji-ye.
[Party] Drink some water: For the members
[Party] Drink some water: You and I know each other
[Party] Drink some water: I explained that you will only take care of it for me while I don't have free time due to work
[Party] Drink some water: It would be a waste to dig up all the money you poured into it, so if you’re going to quit, just hold out until the selection match.
Kang Ji-hye, who had told him to only try it for 3 months, saw Chae Yoo-jeong flying around with a chain blade and seemed to get greedy, so she quickly extended the period to October. Still, Chae Yoo-jeong took over the position without saying anything.
Although he didn't enjoy it as much as he enjoyed Hero with Yoo Ji-han, he also enjoyed Zenoris in his own way. Unlike Hero, whose goal was to increase his tier score, Zenoris was more focused on character growth, so he was able to do it without pressure.
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Gilma-nim
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Are you coming to the Hurdian Abyss space?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: yeah
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Abyss is so difficult
[Guild] Mocha Bread: is it okay?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: I say I’m going because it’s okay
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Otherwise, why would I say to go?
[Guild] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Bright Clouds: omg
[Guild] Mocha Bread: ㅇㅅㅇ..
[Guild] Mocha Bread: That’s true.
[Guild] Mocha Bread: You are so mean
[Guild] Yoo Chae: haha
[Guild] Harn: fkㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Manaolingnam: Where does the smell come from?ㅠㅠ
[Guild] Manaolingnam: Smells like a tortoiseshell ㅠㅠ
[Guild] Seasoned Crab Soup: It doesn’t seem like there’s anything particularly new here.
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Strange
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Water-nim said she brought in someone who would definitely raise the value of the guild's name...
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: We have brought in someone who will further increase the value of the name of the guild, which is infamous for being a collection of idiots^^~
[Guild] I'm getting lazy: Ah~ it was worthy of the name~!
[Guild] Staric: Then I agree ㅋㅋ
The guild was also the reason why Chae Yoo-jeong continued without giving up on Zenoris. All of the guild users in <Early Evening> were insane, so much so that it was surprising where and how Kang Ji-hye had collected so many crazy people.
That was actually more convenient for Chae Yoo-jeong. People who don't have to show unnecessary pretense or kindness to each other. It was a similar feeling to when he met Kwon Do-hyun.
Chae Yoo-jeong became a guild leader in the Early Evening in May. Since then, he has become closer to the guild members and has had a few troubles with Fever. In the process, he went up several times due to his cheeky personality and brat-like behavior.
Chae Yoo-jeong did not pay much attention to whether others criticized him or how many times he posted comments on social media and completely ignored them. Even if he cursed at him anyway, they were people who didn't even know his real face or name. He wasn't free enough to listen to such meaningless words.
Three months passed and it was August. Drink some water began looking for newbies she could bring in to participate in the development of the Guardian guild. Shortly thereafter, she brought in one of the users, saying he had been recommended to her.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Do you still have Athero seeds left in your inventory?
[Guild] Drink some water: yes, I have some left
[Guild] Drink some water: If you need it now, come to Pherocco Lighthouse ㄱ
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Okay
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Can I get some if I go to Drink Some Water too? Just finished the raid Dungeon
[Guild] Let's do this: I-I-I-I want to go too
[Guild] TheHunter: 2 people wanted to go, reaching area 8 in 20 minutes ㄱㄱ
[Guild] Harn: Are you with the newbie? Then, I'm going too
[Guild] Drink some water: Ah right, a newbie has joined the guild.
[All] Yoo Chae: Newbie?
Due to bad timing, Chae Yoo-jeong, who was away for a moment while taking medicine in the kitchen, did not notice that a greeting time had been swept through the guild chat window.
Chae Yoo-jeong went to Pherocco Lighthouse to meet Kang Ji-hye, and only then did he see the username of the new guild member.
[All] Drink some water: oh, haven't you been reading the guild chat?
[All] Drink some water: I'm Sleepy <Newbie 24-year-old male~
[All] Yoo Chae: ?
'I'm sleepy...?'
Chae Yoo-jeong twisted his mouth and smiled coldly.
Even though he’s the same age as Yoo Ji-han, there is no possibility that it is him... Surely he is not the same ill-mannered bastard in the last game?
He hasn't interfered in guild-related matters until now, but he didn't want to keep quiet this time. The user with the nickname ‘I’m sleepy’ was very annoying.
'Anyway, if he’s a newbie brought in to participate in the selection competition, I’ll have to check his skills.'
Hmm... Chae Yoo-jeong gathered his thoughts in a brief period of time and immediately typed in the chat box.
[All] Yoo Chae: I don't like the username?
[All] Yoo Chae: I don't want to see it ㅋㅋ
It was a chat where the controversy was clear no matter where you looked. The other user probably didn't know that there was going to be an argument over the username, but there was no reaction.
[All] Yoo Chae: That I don't like his username?
[All] Drink some water: Then what do you want me to do? Ah;;
[All] Yoo Chae: Kick him out
[All] Yoo Chae: And who gave u permission to accept new recruits?
[All] Drink some water: You were the one who told me to do as I please yesterday, are you really f****** with me;
Even when Kang Ji-ye criticized him for being outrageous, Chae Yoo-jeong paid no heed and continued to provoke the opponent.
[All] Yoo Chae: If you want to be in our guild, change your username ㄱ
[All] Yoo Chae: Either that or leave
[All] Yoo Chae: Please pay the price[1] for that usernameㅋㅋ
[All] Harn: ??
[All] Park Seung-jin99: What? omg
[All] Drink some water: Ah, my blood pressure**
The opponent user, who was keeping silent, finally answered after thinking what to answer back to the demand of changing his username.
[All] I'm Sleepy: Fuck you, you bastard!
