Chapter 204 – Ground Zero (1)

When Lee Hyun-woo got into the car after finishing his routine, the secretary was absorbed in the phone screen without even saying hello. Lee Hyeon-woo, who had been sitting in the back seat and waiting for a while, asked, kicking the driver’s seat.

“What do you find so interesting about?”

The secretary was startled as if he had seen a pornographic video, put his cell phone in, checked Lee Hyun-woo’s face, and let out a sigh of relief.

“Oops! Cadet! Uh, when did you come?”

“I just came. Anyway, what are you looking at so much fun? Did you see anything dirty?”

Hearing Lee Hyun-woo’s question, the secretary shook his head and said,

“Ah, that’s naughty. No big deal. This time, there was an article about the name change of the Black Dragon room, so I was looking at it.”

“What did you change to?”

“It’s called [Ground Zero].”

“[Ground Zero]?”

Lee Hyun-woo thought the name was a little out of the blue. Why Ground Zero? What does ground zero mean? I’ve heard it a lot, but I can’t remember what it means. Lee Hyeon-woo, who was worried, pointed to the secretary’s cell phone and said.

“Play the video. It won’t come out what it means.”

“Ah yes. All right.”

Hyeonu Lee pressed his chin with his fingers. The secretary hurriedly turned on his cell phone again and hung it up on the cradle. At the right time, he was explaining why Jung Soo-hyeon, wearing a suit, named the guild.

“Yes. The name of the guild, [Ground Zero], Has the meaning of an explosion site. The [Ground Zero] Members, including the Ada bomber Jung Su-hyeon, are the most elite hunters among the elite. Therefore, it is named after the meaning of completely destroying the gate like an explosive to match the name of this elite hunter.”

Hyunwoo Lee covered his mouth with a smile.

“Because it’s a bomber, it’s explosive…”

The secretary also giggled and nodded his head. As he turned his head slightly to the side to say something, Lee Hyun-woo smiled and pushed the secretary’s forehead with his hand.

“Look out. You can’t see it.”

Suhyun continued to explain.

“[Ground Zero] Also has the meaning of a beginning, the beginning of something new. [Ground Zero] Also contains the mindset of our guild members to draw a line from the darkness of the past and contribute to this society as a new guild. I would appreciate it if you would love [Ground Zero] A lot in the future.”

The press conference ended with Jung Soo-hyun nodding off. Hyunwoo Lee said.

“This friend doesn’t have hair loss.”

“Iknow, right. Hunters, there are a lot of people who go bald.”

The secretary said and shook her head. Hyeonu Lee also asked while brushing his hair in the same way.

“Isn’t there a story about S-class hunters going bald?”

“Aren’t the A-rank hunters model depilatory pills? Just pray.”

“Write…”

Hyunwoo Lee took a breath and looked in the mirror. It was because the secretary said that because it bothered me for nothing.

“Do you know of a place like broadcasting?”

“Oh, yes. Broadcast. What internet broadcast did you do last time? Didn’t you say you knew a kid who did that?”

A few days after the interview drew attention, [Ground Zero] Was gradually regaining vigor, although not as much as it was during [Black Dragon’s Room]. He didn’t receive any more discipleship, but there were a few contacts coming in asking for new guild members, and it seemed like there were a few inquiries from companies looking for a continuous defense outsourcing contract.

Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok seemed to think that he had to row at this timing. He was asking me to promote it one more time by appearing on an internet broadcast. There were two main reasons why I had to leave, not Lee Jun-hyuk himself. First of all, I was the most popular among the current [Ground Zero] Hunters, and secondly, it was because I briefly brought up the story of ‘a friend who broadcasts on the Internet’ during a brief chat.

It wasn’t even something that was very important. Apparently, it was a word that I casually mentioned while talking about V-tube when the news came out that a certain V-tuber with 1 million subscribers was embroiled in a controversy on TV.

Lee Joon-hyeok, like a business man, did not miss even the smallest things and remembered them, so he was asking me for a favor. I naturally thought of Jun-seok’s face and shook his head.

“Ah, that friend. Now I’m folding the V-tube and doing other things. I work in an amusement park wearing animal masks.”

“Okay? You said that friend will do very well, I will show you later when he is older.”

“Everything in the world is like that.”

Of course, Jun-seok did not perish. It was because he surpassed 1.3 million subscribers while working as a Virtual V Tuber named Nyan Nyang Seok. However, I denied the existence of Jun-seok. ‘Hello brothers! It’s Nyan Nyang Nyan!’ Even though he was a friend, he wasn’t.

Even between friends, there are lines that need to be respected.

Lee Joon-hyeok licked his lips as if it was a waste and said this.

“Aww, it’s a pity. Then, how would it be okay to contact other Vtubers and broadcast instead of that friend?”

I thought for a moment and nodded his head. It didn’t matter if it was another V-Tuber. Hunter Lee Jun-hyeok isn’t usually good at the Internet, so maybe he’ll recruit a fishing V-tuber or a slightly older V-tuber? I nodded roughly and finished the day’s work.

When I get home, the first thing I do is take a shower. Then, I throw myself on the mattress in my room, fidget with my phone, and call my girlfriends. The first person to contact was Seong Ha-yeon. As if she was just waiting for my call, she answered the phone before it beeped twice and asked how I was doing in a bright voice.

“Uh, are you off work?”

“Yes. I’m off work. I was thinking of dropping by your house tomorrow, is it okay?”

“Tomorrow? Do you want to see me now?”

“Now? I’ll take the subway. Wait a minute.”

I heard Seong Ha-yeon laugh. She liked it even more when I made the sound of changing clothes realistic.

“Ah, okay. What come now what about dinner? Did you have a dinner?”

“Yes. I just ate soup with the guild members.”

“Ah, soup. That would be nice Soup is delicious.”

“Shall we go buy some soup tomorrow?”

“What is soup? Come dressed very well tomorrow. My mom and dad are always messing around. Her husband leaves her pregnant wife and goes to see other women every day.”

Haha.”

It was right, so I had nothing to say. Seong Ha-yeon heard my laughter and laughed.

“Wow, look at that smile. Don’t you deny it? It’s bad. Really.”

“Ah, they’re all my girls, but there’s something I’m denying.”

“Okay. You are cool.”

An affirmative reply came back with her laughter. I said.

“Yes. Hayeon Mr. Then see you tomorrow?”

“Huh. Okay. See you tomorrow.”

Side, there was a sound. At the sound of the phone being cut off, I stomped my feet and called senior Yoo-jeong. A laughing voice was heard.

“Uh? Mr. Suhyun? Are you off work?”

“Yes. I’m off work. I called because I wanted to hear your voice.”

“What do you do while listening to it every day? Did you say that to Hayeon unnie and Ichie too? I know everything.”

Senior Yoo-jeong pretended to be pouting, and she said something like that. I thought she was turning her head plainly with her arms crossed in front of her eyes. So I also shook my head and said this.

“Ah, I didn’t.”

Senior Yoojung laughed. I meant it was a joke. She told me

“Shall we go to the movies again? Movie.”

“The movie is good. We watch movies and eat together.”

And the motel too.

Senior Yoo-jeong laughed out loud, as if she knew what I was trying to say even without saying anything behind her back. I laughed in an awkward tone, and we chatted while looking out the window through which the moonlight penetrated.

“Oh, I need to wash now.”

“Ah yes. I’m going to wash up now too.”

I hung up and looked at my phone again. Should I take a shower and call Ichie? Thinking of taking a shower first, I turned on the boiler. When I was talking on the phone slowly, I didn’t notice the time passing, so it would be time to sleep. I turned on the boiler and threw myself back onto the pillow.

Ding Dong

Ding Dong

“Who are you.”

Just as I was about to take off my clothes, I heard the doorbell ring. Even when I asked who I was, the hand did not stop ringing the doorbell. I put on my half-naked pants again and opened the front door.

“Supreme phenomenon.”

“Eh, what is this?”

Ichie was at the door with her bag on and drawing a V. When she saw my embarrassment, she gritted her teeth. Then, like a dog that came home, he came in through the door and locked the front door. She had a plastic bag in her hand, and the smell of chicken emanated from the crack of her bag.

Ichie said.

“Suhyeon-san got off work, washed up, and came back just in time to talk on the phone. Chicken came running later than expected.”

Then she glanced at the bathroom and spoke to me again.

“Supremacy. Haven’t you washed yet?”

“Yes. It happened because I was talking on the phone for a while.”

“Then water phenomenon. Take a quick shower I eat chicken.”

She took a large pad out of her bag. It was a pad with a much larger screen than the pad used by Yu-jeong and I. She said to Ichie.

“Let’s watch a drama together. A new work that I like came out today.”

“Oh, is it?”

Watching the drama, it didn’t seem too bad. Sometimes it wouldn’t be bad to just watch dramas without having sex. I took off my pants and turned on the shower light.

“Supremacy. I got a call.”

“Ah…”

The phone call was supposed to come at a time like this. I walked in place in my shorts and answered the phone.

“Hello.”

“Oh, Suhyun-ah. Grow. Jun-seok.”

“Oh Jun-seok, what’s going on?”

Why did Junseok call? I asked while taking off my shirt. Ichie teased me by poking my chest next to me. I heard Junseok laugh.

“Hey, Suhyun. [Ground Zero] This is your guild right?”

Weird. Why are you so anxious?

“Huh? Uh, but why?”

“I just got a call from my agency saying that you and I will be broadcasting together. Hey, if you’re going to do it with us, you should contact me in advance. Sadly.”

I blinked. After taking a deep breath, I asked the question as carefully as I could.

“You’re talking about Junseok TV, right?”

“Of course Nyan Nyang is TV. Hey.”

Wow.
