Chapter 362 – Episode 362

The sound was so clear.

What this means is that Shin Jeong-seok’s favorability rating is decreasing.

As I left the main auditorium and entered the dormitory, Shin Jeong-seok did not even look at me. It seemed like he was treating me like someone who didn’t exist, or was blatantly showing his displeasure.

‘Oh, I’m going to spin, I’m going to spin.’

Why do you keep lowering your favorability rating when it’s not enough?

Still, I had no regrets.

No matter how much I have to gain that guy’s favor, I can’t just smile when he keeps getting beaten up. No matter how much of a pushover I am, it’s not like that. Even if I could turn back time, I would have done the same thing again.

Well, if I could repeat it about 10 times, I might have made a different choice.

[… It’s just like a master to look cool for a moment and then quickly turn ugly.]

“…”

In the end, I packed up my luggage at the accommodation, took a short rest, and left.

I had to listen to Park Geung-jeong’s pretentious to bullshit all day long that I didn’t even want to hear.

“Let’s not bicker too much. Of course, it is true that Mr. Jeongseok’s words were a bit sharp. It might have been because I was a little sensitive! If we take a bath together in the large public bath later…”

“…”

“Now that I think about it, I thought he was a bit leader-like. I also thought it was cool.”

If you look closely, this guy is the most disgusting.

[Currently, Park Geung-jeong’s favorability rating for the owner is 19.]

This bastard’s liking for me has gone down, and she’s pretending to be more friendly with me.

‘At this point, I’m curious.’

Why is this guy pretending to be friendly, kind, and positive on the outside?

I think it would be better to show your emotions openly like Shin Jeong-seok.

Is there anything you want from me?

‘Anyone who has ever been cheated in a game called Maple Leaf Story as a child will first feel aversion to one-sided favors.’

Even though I was almost 30 years old, I still couldn’t forget it.

The con man who tricked an innocent me into a cash recharge scam and made me lose my mind in a strange mushroom restaurant for three hours. I also remember the nickname, zIzonpyodo.

“I guess I was a little emotional.”

Huh?

Shin Jeong-seok suddenly shakes my hand as soon as I leave the dorm. I couldn’t hide my confusion as I looked at the hand held out to me.

Shin Jeong-seok, who checked me, also looked a little puzzled. So, after biting his lip a few times, he opened his mouth again.

“I will apologize. “I think I was a little jealous when I saw that my answer didn’t get a good response and that Hyunwoo’s answer got a good response.”

Eh? Even apples?

‘Could it be that my favorability increased by saying something nice and showing off my cool side?’

It could have been so.

Because Shin Jeong-seok is a pretty rational guy. Actually, he didn’t like me because he thought I was a vulgar guy, but it turns out that he admits that I’m kind of cool too.
Isn’t it?

[Currently, Shin Jeong-seok’s favorability rating for his master is 25.]

I don’t think so, fuck it.

I was so dumbfounded that I just opened my mouth, but Shin Jeong-seok spoke with a smile and teeth that he put up with effort.

“Please accept my apology. People are a bit weird.”

“Ah yes. Well, um.”

I reluctantly took Shin Jeong-seok’s outstretched hand. He hasn’t shaken many hands in his life, but this was the first time he shook hands as awkwardly as this.
It feels weirder than when I accidentally shook hands one-on-one with the regimental commander when I was a trainee.

“He’s not even a child of one or two years old. “This is a new training session that has just started, so I don’t think there is any need for people in the same group to bicker too much.”

That’s right.

That’s true…

[Currently, Shin Jeong-seok’s favorability rating for his master is 24.]

As I look at your likeability rating, which has just dropped by 1, I feel like something strange is creeping deep inside my heart.

A guy who distrusts people.

‘No matter what happens, I really want to finish this quest quickly.’

As I get to see things like people in real time, I feel like my mind is becoming more and more exhausted.

It might have been much better not to see something like this.

This is why there is a saying that ignorance is medicine.

“Lee Yeol, is Jeong Seok cool? Sounds good? I think the courage to apologize like that is truly amazing. That’s not wrong. From now on, I don’t like it, but I like it, but I have to live under one roof for three weeks. There is no need to live in an uncomfortable atmosphere…”

“Hey, Mr. Yes.”

“… Yes?”

Shin Jeong-seok smiled slightly and said it indifferently.

The content was not at all insignificant.

“To be honest, I hate you more than Hyunwoo.”

“…”

“Please cover up the pretentiousness.”

“…”

Shin Jeong-seok just walked out, leaving behind Park Geung-jeong, who had frozen in place. Park Geung-jeong stopped on the spot and looked at Shin Jeong-seok’s back and rolled her tongue inside her mouth.
Meanwhile, I, caught in the uncomfortable atmosphere between the two, struggled to open my mouth.

“Let’s go, Mr. Yes.”

At the same time, I thought this was an opportunity to build favorability, so I added it quietly.

“What’s wrong with pretense? I think pretense is also good. What is the reason why the world’s evaluation of Japan is so good? “Regardless of how you feel on the inside, it’s because you are kinder than anyone else on the outside, right?”

I was wondering if this might increase favorability.

[Currently, Park Geung-jeong’s favorability rating for his master is 17.]

The real Shin Jeong-seok and Park Geung-jeong.

I’d like to take off both of our rank insignia and have a face-to-face match. They’re like bastards.

I sighed and thought.

‘I understand why there are people who work alone because they are tired of people.’

There is no animal in this world that is as untrustworthy as people.

* * *

“Ah, Mr. Hyunwoo. Would you like a cup of coffee? As a senior, I’ll buy you a drink.”

“Hyeonwoo, why don’t you come here and order dessert.”

“… “It’s okay.”

It’s a burden, so I’m going to dig it up, really.

After the rumor spread, some of my mentors overtly showed me kindness to make me look good. You don’t have to look to know their likeability.

It won’t even be 50?

However, on the outside, he acted as if he was going to take out everything, including the liver and gallbladder, so I suddenly felt like I was going to get nauseous.

Of course, there were not only people who showed kindness.

“What are you doing now! Instead of moving to the small auditorium right away and preparing for recreation!”

“… Sorry! “I will move right away.”

It was our senior leader, Kam Woo-yeol, who was in charge of Groups 11 to 15.

“From what I heard, what Senior Kam Woo-yeol hates the most is special treatment and parachutes. There are rumors that because of that, he was rejected from the company he was originally supposed to join.”

Even though her favorability towards me had clearly decreased and despite the incident with Shin Jeong-seok, Park Geung-jeong quickly regained her original self.
Looking at it, I felt admiration and at the same time felt bittersweet.

We may have ended up acting too much as we became ‘adults’. You can’t say you don’t like what you don’t like, and you can’t say you like what you like.

Life is… It wasn’t easy.

‘There is nothing worse than that.’

I didn’t particularly ask for kindness.

However, I never wanted the person who was dissatisfied with me to be the leader of my group. Why is it always like this?

‘After the quest was given, nothing passes quietly in life.’

Isn’t someone throwing a curse at this point?

[That’s not it, it’s proof that the master’s fate is increasingly influencing the flow of the world.]

[Do you think there are people who win first place in the lottery three times for no reason?]

[In the first place, the owner was that kind of person, so he was chosen by me. Do you understand, human?]

I just sighed.

‘Still, it’s better than Shin Jeong-seok or Park Geung-jeong.’

Because Kam Woo-yeol seems to have a fairly honest personality.

It seemed that as long as our 13th group carried out the recreation properly and, furthermore, carried out this training for new recruits well, there would be no need to be scolded.

Wouldn’t they rather quickly remove their narrow-minded gaze and look at me properly?

… I was an idiot who thought that.

“What are you doing now, Article 13!”

Form a group and perform the given task through teamwork.

As a result, we were conducting a simple group task to check the company’s values ​​and founding philosophy, but surprisingly, we were being criticized like our trillion dogs.

“Are you kidding me? If you continue to show this attitude, your confirmed employment may be cancelled! Do you understand?”

“… Sorry!”

Kam Woo-yeol’s words were never a false threat.

Since training for new employees is also a process of receiving a salary, it was not impossible for the company to have its employment canceled if the training was received too poorly.

The problem is that there is one team member who doesn’t even bat an eyelid at those warnings.

“… I’m sorry, but can I just go into the accommodation? “I feel like my health keeps getting worse since I’m here.”

It was Zhuge Ye-eun.

She has had a bad expression ever since Group 13 was formed. Even during the training course, she did not participate in anything.
No, from the beginning, even though Kam Woo-yeol shouted with blood in his throat, he stuck to his indifferent response.

It really shows what it means to listen with one ear and let it go with the other.

“Hey, Mr. Zhuge Ye-eun! Isn’t the entire group suffering because of you now? Let’s do it right. If you joined the company, wouldn’t you have to take responsibility for it? Do you know that money is given for free?”

Shin Jeong-seok, who was worse than him, said something, but this time, Jegal Ye-eun just listened and ignored it.

“Still… “I don’t like it.”

“You’re not even a three-year-old child now, are you going to keep acting like that? If you are an adult, you should take some responsibility for your own actions.”

Although her words were full of thorns, Shin Jeong-seok was not wrong.
However, she didn’t get any benefit from Jegal Ye-eun.

“Ye-eun, don’t be like that and have fun. The corporate values ​​and the content itself may be a bit boring. The company will even invite professional MCs, so it will be quite fun. Look over there. “Are they celebrities?”

“… I’m sorry. She’s not really interested in celebrities. Even so, it’s uglier than the AI ​​drawing.”

Park Geung-jeong came out with a friendly smile as Shin Jeong-seok’s next batter.

I don’t think it was pretense, but even so, I guess it didn’t appeal to Zhuge Ye-eun.

“…”

“…”

In the end, Shin Jeong-seok and Park Geung-jeong had no choice but to raise both hands and feet.

I, who was watching from the side, also stuck out my tongue.

Zhuge Ye-eun is truly crazy… No, she was a woman with strong opinions. She’s the type of person who, if she doesn’t like something, she won’t say it out loud, even if it means death. The problem is that even if it is a very insignificant thing.

‘This is my first time seeing a person like this again.’

If I had met her in high school, she was the type of person who might have gotten stabbed for asking to borrow an eraser.
Meanwhile, recreation continued.

Team 13 had to endure Kam Woo-yeol’s anger one after another. The MC is in the middle of recreational activities.

Zhuge Ye-eun stands up very naturally.

“Mr. Yeeun?”

I cautiously called her name to see what was going on, and when Jegal Ye-eun yawned, she spoke.
“I just don’t want to work for this company.”

She then put down her name tag that was hanging around her neck.
