Chapter 326 – Episode 326

I thought lightly.

I was wondering how long it would take to hit that punch machine once and what would happen.

[500 won per time]

[2 times 1,000 won]

Rather, what surprised me was the price of using the punch machine. When I was in college, I think I could have fun with my friends for 2 sessions for 500 won. Did this guy end up giving in to the trend of rising prices?

‘It’s not some kind of amusement park, but the punch machine at the local arcade costs 500 won per time.’

Even a very surprising fact.

“Hyeonwoo, do you have any cash?”

“No. “I don’t have one.”

As if it were completely obvious, neither I nor Park Chae-yeon had even that 1,000 won in cash. I wonder when was the last time I spent cash. No, I think I stopped carrying a wallet at all about 2 or 3 years ago.

Because everything can be solved with just one smartphone.

Especially with Pepay card…

“Omg. Awesome!”

Park Chae-yeon, who was seriously considering whether she should stop and ask a passerby to lend her 1,000 won because she does not have 1,000 won in cash, lets out an exclamation.
I looked to see what was going on.

“Hyeonwoo, look at this.”

“Wow.”

I was also surprised to see what Park Chae-yeon pointed out.

[Payment is possible with Pepay card.]

Are you crazy, really?

No matter how advanced the times are, you can still use the punch machine by paying with a Pepay card? I was so surprised that I couldn’t even speak. Well, it is said that these days, in certain regions, announcers cannot be found, so AI is sometimes hired.

It feels like the world changes so much every time I blink that it gives me goosebumps.

‘Especially AI…’

If you think about it carefully, the great tragedy that may occur in the future is a tragedy caused by the development of AI rather than the emergence of a genius hacker.

‘Even though so many movies with that feeling have been made, humans have no means to stop AI.’

What if everyone gave up the benefits related to AI?

Even if it was officially banned around the world, including the United States, there were bound to be people who would use it personally for their own benefit.

When you look at things like this, no animal is as trustworthy as humans.

Anyway…

[Payment has been completed.]

Park Chae-yeon and I made a fuss like we were cavemen who discovered fire for the first time when the old punch machine actually accepted payments with Pepay cards.

“Isn’t this proof that the end of the human era has truly arrived?”

“A real AI Kim Hyun-woo will appear later.”

Maybe it’s because they both drank alcohol.

Even though I tell stupid stories, I burst out laughing happily.

“Rumble!”

Park Chae-yeon relaxes her body as she sees the punch machine coming up with a loud noise. The way she moves her neck from side to side and rotates her shoulders is not something someone has done once or twice.

“In some ways, this may be a prejudice. Usually, when a woman says something like this, you only think of how cute it is, right? But, I’ve been doing this since I was in elementary school.”

“Oh…”

I didn’t know how to react, so I just let out a small exclamation.

Park Chae-yeon held her right wrist tightly with her left hand, put her strength into her waist, and struck her punch machine with all her might.

“Bang! “Rurrrr!”

How loud it was.

People who were smoking and giggling across from me looked this way. Even the speed at which the score increases is unusual.

[HIGH SCORE]

[967]

[FIRST SCORE]

[937]

It was crazy.

Her highest score was 967 points, but Chae-yeon Park’s score was 937 points. I know because I have her sister too. Usually, when a woman scores something like this, if she gets over 800 points, she’s a jackpot. At that level, you can hit it better than most men.

“Miss, something is unfortunate. Is it because you remember the face of the manager you haven’t even seen? Choi Do-jin… No, should I have remembered Choi Do-hyung’s face and hit him?”

“…”

“But after punching him once, I felt a little relieved. Next time, Hyunwoo, try it.”

“Hmm.”

I momentarily let out a faint moan.

Should I say that I heard something like an unknown intuition? Apart from the increased abilities as a reward for the quest. I had a gut feeling that if I swung my fist at this punching machine right now, something unknown would happen.

“Hey, are you afraid you won’t get a better score than me? Just play comfortably. Any ordinary person, even a man, could lose to me. I will embarrass you. Hehe.”

「Pajik!」

I ignored my intuition, falling for a provocation that wouldn’t even work on a 7-year-old child. That sounds like shit intuition. Have there been times in my life when my intuition was right? If that were the case, I would have already won the lottery.

‘When I was young, my dad told me to hold my wrist and hit like Park Chae-yeon because I hurt my wrist.’

I didn’t want to do that now.

To be honest, it’s safe to hold your wrist and hit the punch machine, but it’s not that sexy, isn’t it?

“Uh? Hold my wrist and hit me. Then I got hurt.”

“It’s okay, so I’ll just watch.”

Honestly, I was curious too.

My current abilities were Stamina +13, Stamina +15, Strength +10, and Agility +5. There is no need to mention other abilities except agility, but now even agility is +5, which is not that low.

‘It is said that punch machines do not usually respond only to unconditional force, but have a sensor that detects speed, which increases the score.’

F=ma.

Stronger force meant higher acceleration. Furthermore, if you look at things like YouTube Shorts, how many times do you think I’ve seen martial arts players easily get the highest score or make an error when using a punch machine?

In conclusion, if your strength is strong, your score on the punch machine will eventually be good.

So let’s see how many points you get!

“… Huh?”

「Quaaang!」

With the sound of leather popping, the punch machine’s score begins to tick up. The men on the other side who had finished smoking their cigarettes and were returning to the bar also looked in this direction again in surprise.

“What the fuck?”

“Isn’t the leather burst?”

There’s a lot of noise on the other side, so you can mumble or not.

Even during this time, scores steadily increased. Before I knew it, I had easily surpassed 950 points, then 960, 970… The numbers were rising and showed no signs of stopping.

Then it finally stopped at the number 998. When I saw that, I let out a small sigh of relief.

‘Wow, I guess the correct answer was to relax a bit and hit.’

This is something I felt while fighting with Oh Cheol-ho’s subordinates not long ago. Now, if I swing my fist incorrectly, it can be said to be more than a weapon.

I didn’t want to complicate things by accidentally breaking the machine, so I hit with some force.

Still, it was like this.

“… What, this is ridiculous… We are not a fighting people living in outer space. Even just at the end, I let go and hit it… You said it. Right?”

“It’s not.”

“That’s right! Hey, hey Hyunwoo… !”

Park Chae-yeon comes to me with a completely different voice and different eyes than before.

“Rumble!”

He pointed to the punch machine that had been raised once more due to breaking the record, and jumped around in place, pleading with me.

“Really, I’ll take responsibility for everything. Can you hit it with all your might? Really? Just once, just once!”

If I hadn’t had a single sip of alcohol, I would have refused that request. You must have noticed that Park Chae-yeon’s eyes were halfway gone.

However, I also got a little drunk.

Before I even thought about it, I felt a strain on my shoulders, perhaps because the number of onlookers around me increased. What’s so strange about people is that they don’t get excited when they’re alone. As the number of people around me increases, I get excited without even realizing it.

I can see why even passive people can change in an instant if they are left in front of an onlooker.

“Oh, it really doesn’t work.”

“Just this once! “Just once!”

Just like before, I deliberately over-extended myself and looked arrogant as I saw Park Chae-yeon holding her right wrist with her left hand and quickly lifting her index finger.

“Is this really the last?”

“Yes!”

“I can’t help it. Because Chaeyeon asked that much.”

I gave my body much more strength than before. Then, not only Park Chae-yeon, but also the people around her seemed to be looking in this direction with secret anticipation.

Is that why?

It ended up taking more effort than I thought.

At least I shouldn’t have turned my back. At least I should have clenched my fist lightly.

… Something I regret.

「Kwasik!」

[ERR]

It was the moment when the neck of the old punch machine broke and an error appeared on the scoreboard.

“Omg. Awesome.”

“What is that person?”

People around me made a fuss when they saw these results, but personally, I think the person who was most excited about this was Park Chae-yeon, who was quietly opening her mouth.

I belatedly noticed that Park Chae-yeon’s eyes had completely gone crazy, and I got goosebumps.

“Hey, Chaeyeon. “It looks like the machine is broken.”

“Ah… I see. I need to quickly contact the arcade owner and resolve this issue. “I guess we should stay together for a while, right?”

I wondered if it was my mistake.

“Oppa, can you solve this? “Can we play together a little longer?”

“…”

Who said Park Chae-yeon looked like a man?

Twisting her fingers and twisting her body with a tickling voice was the true image of a female in heat.

‘Fuck, where was the point of falling in love with me just now?’

I looked back on my memories.

All I did was break the punch machine by hitting it twice. Did you really roll your eyes at that?

‘Omg! Could it be that Park Chae-yeon is a masochist?’

In the past, I would have thought that something like Majo could not exist in reality, but that thought changed after meeting Yoon Su-ah. No, if you think about the various sexual fetishes of the women you’ve met so far… It wouldn’t be surprising if unimaginable fetishes existed in this world.

“Gulp.”

I looked at Park Chae-yeon with her nervous eyes as she swallowed her saliva.
Now Park Chae-yeon wanted to eat me somehow, so she had the look of an impatient female in her eyes. How do you know that? Because I’ve seen that look countless times from women I’ve had relationships with, including my housemates.

* * *

I’m waiting for the arcade owner I contacted to arrive.

“They must be a couple.”

“But it was so sticky that it stuck. “I think this is some kind of motel.”

“Hey, what do you think? It looks good.”

… They’re not a couple, you crazy bastards.

At the whispers of passers-by, I tried to break away from Park Chae-yeon, who was clinging to me, but once she was in sticky mode, she had no intention of getting away from me.

“Omg. Oh my god. Why didn’t I know this? This pressure muscle! “I never thought I would have recognized the crazy compressed muscles.”

“Hey, Chaeyeon over there.”

“Oppa, just call me Chaeyeon. She is older than I. Why are you calling me so sad? Just relax, Chaeyeon, okay?”

“…”

It was much stickier than most perverts, so I sighed as I watched Park Chae-yeon touching my body.

“Hey, once we’re done with our business here, let’s go to a motel. How do you feel?”

If it were Park Chae-yeon in the past, she would have rejected it right away.

This was not the current Park Chae-yeon.

“Yes, brother. I will definitely go. “Unconditionally.”

It was almost like a free pass.

“For your information, I have a girlfriend.”

“Hey, what’s wrong with that? You can eat it once and throw it away.”

“…”

Crazy bitch.
