Chapter 91 – A Side Story – The Story of a Nuclear and Goldsmith (5)

[Brother! I have contacted you!]
“What? Really?!”

It was the news I had been waiting for. Kang Kyung-cheol’s voice was also powerful.

[Yes. I checked the screenshots and account details, and I’m sure.]
“Yes. Have you contacted them? They say they will restore them?”

The important thing was whether or not the person repaired it.
They repair it there, and we send the money. Ending it with that was the cleanest solution.

[Well, I guess there are some circumstances. I want to meet and talk with you once. What should I do?]
“Yes…”

Also, life didn’t turn out the way I thought it would. There is no way you can restore it smoothly.
But what does it mean to meet? Are you trying to get more money out of negotiations? Or…?

“Then I’ll meet you, so can you make time for me? As soon as possible. If it’s near Seoul, I’ll go there.”
[All right. Then I’ll make an appointment and text you.]

After hanging up the phone, Kang Kyung-cheol let out a sigh of relief.
The matter hadn’t been resolved yet, but just finding Ray’s account holder was a great harvest. In fact, the biggest mountain could be seen to have been crossed.

After a while, another message came from Sinuiju.

[Shinuiju: Brother. Since he is a student, I don’t have time during the day, but after 6pm I have time. Can I make an appointment at 6?]
[Kang Gyeong-cheol: ㅇㅇ]

Are you a college student If you are young, money will be more precious, and the possibility of solving it with money will increase.

[Sinuiju: I made an appointment in my brother’s name at the restaurant on the 3rd floor of the Lovelyz Hotel in Dobong. You can go by 6:00.]
[Kang Gyeong-cheol: ㅇㅇ]

Also Goddess. The work process was a breeze.
If it wasn’t for Uiju, he was terrified just thinking about it.
Kyung-chul thought that if this matter went well, he should at least give him a watch.

The current time is 12 noon. There was still time until the appointment time.
Gyeong-cheol began to prepare for going out with the mindset of a longevity going to war.

First, I went to a nearby department store to get a suit to wear. It’s because I’ve lost a lot of weight lately, and all the clothes I’ve been wearing have become baggy.

Kang Kyung-cheol doesn’t know much about luxury brands, but he did know the name.
Entering the department store, Kyung-chul visits the brand store he thinks is the most famous and buys a suit with the help of an employee.
A classic suit with a white shirt and black jacket. In addition, the tie, tie pin, shoes, belt, and cuffs were completely matched.

“Guest. While you are adjusting your size, the store over there is also providing beauty care. Why don’t you try it?”
“Beauty care? Do men do it too?”
“Yes. Half of the customers are men these days. Skin massage can prevent aging, and scalp massage is good for preventing hair loss.”
“I’ll be sure to take it.”

Kyung-cheol had a hard way of thinking since the old days. Big things like make-up and procedures, he thought, were done by women.
However, when an employee said that he was good at preventing hair loss, Kyung-chul decided to take care without hesitation.

About 2 hours from there. Kyung-chul only thought of scalp massage, but at the store, he provided a full set of skin massage, hair cut, and nail care.
It may be a long time, but there was no time to be bored because the pretty sisters took care of me. It was a time to understand why people spend expensive money looking for luxury goods.

“Is this… Me?”

After all the care, Kyung-chul was surprised when he looked in the mirror. Because he really looked 10 years younger.
There was also an effect of losing weight through recent exercise, so it was to the point where I was mistaken that I might be pretty good-looking too.

“Guest, you look very young. I would believe it even if you were in your 30s.”
“…”

Kyung-cheol’s misunderstanding was corrected by an employee. Kyung-chul was originally in his 30s.
However, he told himself that it was because he had been under a lot of stress lately, and that it was because he hadn’t slept well last night. Obviously, this female employee didn’t say that out of malice.

Anyway, while Kyung-chul was being taken care of, the size adjustment was finished, and he changed into a new suit.

“Did you say clothes are wings? They cost a lot.”

This would make him a great businessman no matter who sees it. It might be said that he is a professional trader working on Wall Street in the US.
Anyway, he was an unimaginable figure of an old man who had only been playing games in the house until recently.

“Guest, here is the statement.”

The price wasn’t too bad either. It was an amount equivalent to the bounty they put on to restore Ray’s account.

I didn’t think it was worth it.
Today, so to speak, is the launching ceremony of BRAND NEW Kang Kyung-cheol. This is the first activity as Kang Kyung-chul, the owner of Usetube, not Kang Kyung-cheol, who is a game junkie. This expenditure can be considered an upfront investment.

“I still have some time left.”

The current time is 3:00 PM. There were 3 hours left until the appointment time. It’s too early to go ahead and wait.

Hesitantly, Kyung-cheol sat in the driver’s seat of his car and turned on Use Tube on his smartphone. It was hard for him to look at the messed up chat window that he couldn’t manage, so Kyung-chul deliberately didn’t watch the broadcast.

When I logged on to the broadcast, there was no such thing as the end of the century in the chat window. There was usually aggro, but most of the general viewers were chatting actively about Yuzu and other characters.
But now, almost 80% of them were aggro, and the other 20% were a mess with general viewers fighting the aggro.

What’s funny is that the number of viewers is higher than usual. Right now, Yuzu is only trudging along the street, half lost, but at this time, more than 63,000 viewers were watching the broadcast.

“To think that there are so many unemployed people in Korea…”

Kang Kyung-cheol clicked his tongue. Isn’t this the time when he would be at school or at work. No matter how the government changed, the job crisis did not improve.

In fact, Gyeong-cheol was watching the broadcast at this time as well, but it was Gyeong-cheol who did not include himself in it.

“Anyway, people’s reaction is the worst.”

People who blame Yuzu, people who blame Lay’s account owner, people who say the broadcast is ruined, people who claim to be Lay’s account owner, and so on.
However, all such aggro was swept away by the flood of texts. Since there are tens of thousands of viewers, even if you try to attract aggro, you are buried in a new aggro.

And among them, some cheered Yuzu and hoped that Ray’s account would be restored. When he saw the message telling him to cheer up, Kyung-cheol felt like he was being cheered on.

“These people must be our real viewers.”

There were only a few people cheering him on, but Kyung-chul felt his heart warm.
Gyeongcheol also decided to leave a message in the chat window for such people.

[Youtube: I’m going to meet Ray account lord this evening. I will definitely save Ray.]

It was noticeable because it was an operator account, but it was quickly buried in other chats. Most viewers probably didn’t even know there was an operator chat.
However, Kyung-chul thought it didn’t matter as it was. After all, you can show the results to the viewers anyway.

“Whoops…”

Thinking of what happened when Ray was resurrected, Kyung-chul smiled.
Viewers who were cheering will be delighted. The aggro who cursed you to perish will disintegrate. And most of all, I was looking forward to Boyle Yuz’s reaction when Ray came back to life. Kyung-chul was feeling the kind of excitement he hadn’t felt even when he was in the highest position at Renies.

But if she couldn’t save Ray, it was all over. Kyung-chul vowed once again that he would make today’s deal a success.

*

A restaurant on the 3rd floor of Dobong Lovelyz Hotel. Kang Kyung-chul arrived 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled time and was waiting.
This hotel is quite far from Gyeong-cheol’s house, but there must be a reason why Shinuiju chose this place. The other person’s house is nearby.

30 minutes to wait like that. It was six o’clock, but Ray’s account holder had not yet appeared.

Kyung-cheol started to get nervous.
Maybe the other person was playing with a manipulated photo. Or maybe it’s because I suddenly changed my mood and did it as if it hadn’t happened.

The longer the waiting time, the more Gyeongcheol’s anxiety grew. Unable to do it, Gyeong-chul decided to contact his savior, Ui-joo.

“Uiju. He hasn’t come yet. Can you send me his phone number?”
[Yes. I’ll pass it right away.]

Immediately, a message came from Ui-joo, and Kyung-chul dialed the number he received.
A beep sounded for a while, and soon the other person answered the phone.

[Hello?]

Hearing the other person’s voice, Kyung-chul was taken aback. It was because it was a young woman’s voice coming from the receiver.

“Ah… By any chance, isn’t it a phone call from Ray’s account owner?”
[That’s right. I am going now.]
“Ah, yes. I see. I’ll be waiting for you, so you can come slowly.”
[Yes, panting.]

It seemed that the other party was in a hurry. I was out of breath as if I was running.
Kyung-chul finished the conversation for a moment and hung up the phone.

“It was a woman… This is a big deal.”

In Kyung-cheol’s experience, more than 90% of gamers were male. Grimflo can choose a gender when he first starts the game, so even if the character is female, there is no law that the owner is female. Therefore, Kyung-chul naturally thought that Ray’s account owner was also a man.

If the opponent is a young female college student, the story becomes complicated.
According to Kyung-cheol, most of the people who sued for malicious comments this time were young women. These days, among young women, Kyung-cheol and You Tube seem to be recognized as ‘Internet broadcasts that rationalize sexual crimes’.

Kyung-chul was thinking of getting on her knees if the other person refused to recover the account for emotional reasons. However, if your opponent is that kind of person, you may not be able to get down on his knee. She might make all the charges against the women drop, or some other ridiculous demand.

“Nothing’s going to happen.”

Kyung-cheol felt that the difficulty of this quest had jumped up.
Still, he couldn’t fail. Kyung-chul made up his mind, saying that no matter what happens, let’s put Ray’s recovery first.

Another 10 minutes to wait so impatiently.
The long-awaited opponent finally arrived.

“Is that You Tube Kang Kyung-cheol?”
“…?!”

Kyung-chul sat down and looked up blankly at his opponent.
A short skirt of the same color with a navy blue jacket. A white blouse and tie underneath.
No matter how you look at it, it was a female high school student in a school uniform.

Kyung-chul thought she couldn’t do that, but she asked.

“Are you Ray’s account owner?”
“Yes!”

Unbelievable.
Wasn’t Grimflow an adult game? Why do high school girls come out? Is it a sneaky camera that was popular in the past?

“Hey, please sit down.”

Kyung-cheol was embarrassed but offered a seat to the female student. The student had a bit of sweat on her brow as she had run, and as soon as she sat down, she gulped down a glass of water in an instant.

On the other hand, Kyung-chul’s thinking was paralyzed when he faced a situation that was so unexpected even though he was prepared for various things. It was because there was never a pattern of high school girls appearing in the simulation that she had thought of in her head.
For Kyung-cheol, who spent her entire life in Lennie’s, the world of rich people, modern high school girls are harder to understand than aliens.

Wait. Come to think of it, isn’t this a hotel restaurant?

Kyung-cheol suddenly remembered the place he was in and felt a cold sweat run down his back.
A middle-aged man in his 30s wearing a suit came to the hotel with a high school girl. How will people view this situation? Maybe it reminds me of something like aid dating?

Kyung-chul looked around with an uneasy gaze. Then she made eye contact with the waiter who was looking at her suspiciously from the other side.
