Cracking crackling

“Huh? You go and lie down alone again?”

“*@#&@$#&”

“What are you saying? Poor guy.”

I guess I’ve finished supporting Top Beast Survival. It’s been a while since I wanted to play a game, so I was playing it. Apex Hunters, a battle royale-type FPS game that is currently being played, cannot be played alone and can only be played in teams of four.

Of course, I didn’t have any friends, so I did random matching, and unfortunately, the people I got on my team were foreigners with whom I couldn’t communicate.

It seems like he’s speaking roughly in English, but the pronunciation is so bad that I can’t understand anything. It’s definitely not because I’m an ignorant person who doesn’t know English.

They seemed to be able to talk well among themselves, but they were unpleasant people who only interrupted people’s conversations about dead topics.

“If he’s dead, just watch quietly.”

“@##$@!!”

When you reach a certain location on the map, you can get a chance to revive dead teammates, but I didn’t really want to give these pieces of luggage a second chance.

Even if I try to save him, will he just end up screwing me over again like before?

Tangㅡ

First, I cleared out the enemies around me and started farming.

“Oh. This came out.”

I found a gun that I liked right from the start. It is a hand cannon-type pistol that fires single shots, but strangely enough, it fires lasers rather than bullets.

As it is a laser weapon, it has the advantage of being a hitscan weapon, but it has a low rate of fire and the damage per shot is too low if you do not hit a headshot, so it was not a very popular weapon.

But what if I use high-speed thinking?

“It’s just an aim hack.”

Calmly and slowly aim, and with two or three clicks, the enemies will die.

After that, it was a complete massacre.

He gave a hole in the head of every enemy who stuck his head out and won.

“@%$##@ Fucking Hacker!”

However, the team members did not go out and just watched, but suddenly started making noise. Even if I didn’t know anything else, I could tell that there was swearing and suspicion of nuclear weapons.

Immediately annoyed by the nonsense people were talking about, I opened the mileage store and purchased the product I had seen before.

[Would you like to purchase language learning gummies? 100 mileage is consumed.]

Purchased it immediately. After purchasing, I was able to see the explanation.

[Language Learning Jelly]

-You will be able to hear and speak the language you heard for the first time after taking it.

Can’t you read and write? Illiterate Jelly.

It was a product I kept an eye on in case it ended up in a foreign production, but I decided to just eat it now.

I immediately chewed the jelly and swallowed it.

“@#$… Hackers love those guns so much, so why aren’t they getting rid of them? Damn it!”

Then, I was able to immediately understand what my teammate was saying in English. As expected, they were swearing at me among themselves.

“Hey, if you can’t play the game, just watch quietly. I won, right?”

“… Are you just saying this to us? No, wait a minute, were you American?”

“I am Korean. From now on, stop being a troll and just follow your teammates.”

And then the game ended just like that. It was fun to go in and kill enemies for the first time in a while.

Just as I was about to lie down and rest after refreshing myself, my smartphone rang. An email arrived.

[Congratulations to Lee Min-ho. You have been selected as a participant in Top Beast Survival. A preliminary interview is planned…]

I passed. He must have been someone who came out of nowhere with nothing, but I thought he had somehow chosen him.

The pre-interview date is two days later.

I need to meet Sujin Jeong and talk to her sometime today or tomorrow. I picked up my smartphone and called her.

“Uh, Sujin. It’s me……”

“What the fuck! You bastard!”

“Haha… Well, there are users like that.”

Sarah glanced at the chat window and calmed down her team members.

-korean? Your English pronunciation is like a native speaker, but is it Gura?

– Nice Bro, swearing out of anger is so fucking funny haha.

-I was playing duo with a friend and ended up with 1 stack of disgusting characters lol.

-The hacker is arrogant.

-Is it nuclear? He shoots it well, though.

-As you can see, only the head is correct, but it’s back to back.

‘Ugh! ‘What a thunderbolt!’

As a well-known gaming YouTuber, she planned to join forces with Nicebro, a North American gaming YouTuber, to increase overseas viewers, but she did not expect that the broadcast would explode like this from the first episode.

“Here we go~ First of all, I reported it. Let’s leave the judgment to the game company and go play the next game.”

She sweatily calmed the situation and proceeded with the broadcast.

However, even she could not stop the clip titled ‘Hate-Korean Maker’ from spreading among viewers.

As I open the door and enter, a bell rings inside the small cafe. The private cafe where I was supposed to meet Jeong Soo-jin was said to be run by an acquaintance of hers.

It wasn’t bad to hear soft classical music and the interior had a clean and warm feel.

“Oppa! It’s here!”

Jeong Soo-jin, who was sitting at a table against the wall, gestured.

“Congratulations on passing!”

“Thank you. I’ll buy the food today.”

“Hehe. I have to get something expensive~”

eat

Even though he said things like that, it was obvious that he was smiling cutely and paying attention.

“I will listen and decide how well you tell me.”

“Hold on to your worries. Because I know this genre well. After receiving the call, I did some research.”

She took a sip of coffee and continued speaking.

“First of all, there are three people for sure, one of whom is Big Farm.”

“Big Farm Man? The name is unique.”

“I’m a former weightlifter and YouTuber. I publicly said in a video that I would definitely participate in this program.”

It was thought that a former weightlifter would have tremendous strength. He’s probably big too. Isn’t that why his name is Big Farm Ajae?

“Who else?”

“Chaney. Chaney is the second Pilates YouTuber.”

“Pilates? It doesn’t seem like a sport that’s suitable for a competitive program like this, does it?”

Then Sujin Jeong shook her head. The hair tied in a ponytail was flowing.

“If only muscular men appear on a program, who will watch it because they are sweating? Hell Chang? A girl who likes muscles like me? No. Then it won’t even be an issue and will just be buried.”

Well, if the production team has an idea, they will think of box office success first. Even if the competitive element is somewhat weakened, it will be worth watching if there are female participants.

My head nodded.

“And there is also a foreign YouTuber named Sanders.”

“Foreigner?”

It was a story that made me tilt my head.

“Uh. As you probably know, videos made by foreigners targeting Koreans while speaking Korean were popular, right? This is the person who became famous back then.”

“What video is this?”

“Anything related to Korea. I post vlogs, drama reviews, and other miscellaneous things. You were a model before becoming a YouTuber? Maybe it’s because they think the picture will be good if a foreigner with good body appears?”

I immediately took out my smartphone and searched.

[The best reason to live in Korea!]

[Introduce Korean snacks to your foreign friends!]

[An Australian model’s first tripe challenge!]

“Um…”

These are definitely titles that people will like. The man in the video seemed quite light. Is this casting for issue purposes?

“Is that roughly the end?”

“Well… in the case of the general public, there was too little information to begin with.”

“Well, no one knows that I’m leaving except you.”

“Hehe. Still, when you become an athlete, you usually have social media. I will look into this a little more later and let you know.”

He reached out and stroked her hair.

“Okay. Any good results are thanks to you.”

“Hihi. Don’t forget.”

She smiled, revealing her pure white teeth. She said after enjoying the touch for a while.

“That won’t happen, but be careful not to cause any controversy. But don’t be too quiet either. You have to take care of the portion size.”

“Don’t worry. It’s too clean for any controversy to arise.”

For some reason, my conscience ached slightly when I saw her staring at me.

“Anyway, Sujin had a hard time today, so just tell me what you want to eat. I’ll buy you anything.”

“Sushi! I want to eat sushi after a long time!”

“Okay. Let’s go eat sushi.”

I was lost in thought as she clung to me while cheering.

It would be much easier to obtain this information if the guidebook could be used in real life. Just ask and you will get the answer you want.

‘I guess it’s different from travel destinations that are just fictional worlds in novels.’

In the first place, even in real life, I had no intention of living my life doing whatever I wanted. After gaining ability, my first thought was that I wanted to succeed and be recognized by many people.

You can resolve other desires hidden in your heart by going to a travel destination.

After roughly organizing my thoughts, I went to have a meal with Jeong Soo-jin. It was a Japanese restaurant run by a famous Japanese chef that I found through a search.

“This is the belly of red sea bream.”

“Oh~”

Clap clap clap

Seeing the chef skillfully making nigiri, Jeong Soo-jin applauded softly.

“Hmm… It’s delicious, of course.”

It has a lot of fat so it melts softly in your mouth. Now that I think about it, it’s been a really long time since I’ve had real sushi like this.

As I watched the chef explaining the menu in slightly broken Korean, I remembered the [Language Learning Jelly] I ate earlier.

‘Should I learn Japanese at this point?’

I thought about it for a while, but I think it would be better to save it. English is used in a variety of situations, but Japanese is not something that there are any Japanese people around right now, so if you get into a Japanese work in the future, buy it.

If you have this ability, you could become the most competent interpreter in the world.

‘I don’t really think so.’

After a satisfying meal, we naturally headed to a nearby motel to hang out.

And then the pre-interview day arrived.
