Chapter 43
3
[Main Scenario #3 – Emergency Defense has ended . ]
[You have obtained 1,000 coins as compensation . ]
The main scenario, which was supposed to begin only after the sun had risen, actually started less than 10 minutes after the third main scenario was over .
[The fourth main scenario is about to begin!]
Damn, how long had it been since the third scenario ended…
I went straight to Lee Jihye .
"You take Yoo Jonghyuk . "
"…Can I do that?"
"You can't go downstairs now anyway . It will be a problem for when he wakes up . "
Lee Jihye nodded as she looked at Yoo Jonghyuk .
"Please inform me when he wakes up . I want to give him another hit in the back . "
I headed downstairs with Jung Heewon . I carried Lee Gilyoung, who had completely fallen asleep after the meteor shower .
The dungeon disappeared and it turned into an ordinary theatre . The items in the rewards room on the 5th floor were turned into ordinary stage props . It was as if everything that happened yesterday was a dream .
Then BIhyung's voice was heard .
[…Do you know what I am going to say?]
'Yes . '
[Sigh…I nearly fell down . ]
I felt a little relieved as I listened to Bihyung's grumbles .
The constellations were powerful but they weren't omniscient . It was because all the sounds and images of the scenario were transmitted through the 'channel . ' What did this mean?
'Was it filtered properly? I was too excited that I said too much . '
[Of course it was . Is there something wrong with my channel? That level of information is automatically filtered . ]

If my thoughts were correct, the words I said to Yoo Jonghyuk would be conveyed to the constellations in the following way .
–Do you really think so? You have already forgotten the determination of your ■■ attempt .
-Why are you alone? When you ■■■ like a fool in the ■■■■■■■■, when you cried over your ■■■■■■! When your loved one gave ■■ to a ■■!
1
-Helping people and fighting against the damn ■■■! When you finally ■■■ before the ■■■■■!"
In fact, I didn't know how much filtering there was .
It might be more than this, but it wouldn't be weak . In the original work, Yoo Jonghyuk experienced information being blocked this way at the beginning, even when information about 'regressors' was spreading .
2
[The constellations didn't hear anything . Don't worry . The problem is that even I didn't hear much .
1
'…You didn't hear it?'
This was a bit odd . The dokkaebi also couldn't hear the information?
[Yes, that's right . What were you talking about?]
Information that even the dokkaebi didn't know . I had one guess . Perhaps… the constraints of 'probability' had begun? I naturally came up with something from Ways of Survival .
「 'Probability' is a great deterrent that controls the Star Stream . 」
…I was reminded of it but it didn't help me straight away . One of the reasons why Ways of Survival was ruined was that there were too many settings the writer didn't know well .

'What is the reaction among the constellations?'
[They are fed up . There is still an uproar about what you were talking about . ]
I guess so . The constellations experienced a filter and the movie suddenly changed into a silent movie .
If they were smart, they should start paying attention to the possibilities I had . The fact that my words were filtered meant I knew information that shouldn't be revealed at the present time .
[A few constellations are watching you to explore your secrets . ]
[The constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is excited by your existence . ]
1
[2,000 coins have been sponsored . ]
I thought Bihyung had forgotten .
[I received so many indirect messages that I didn't send them to you . Do you understand?]
'Do so in the future . I only want messages about coins . '
[…Am I your manager?]

The figure of Bihyung disappeared . I thought he was becoming cuter over time . One thing was finished and the other…
1
"Dokja-ssi, is it hard? I'll carry Gilyoung . "
"Ah, it would be appreciated . "
I handed Lee Gilyoung to Jung Heewon . Her face looked somewhat serious . I hesitated for a moment before opening my mouth .
"Heewon-ssi . "
"Huh?"
"What are you worried about?"
"No, just…" Jung Heewon hesitated for a moment before sighing . "Hah… okay . It isn't in my nature to keep it in . "
Indeed .
Jung Heewon got directly to the point .
"What is Dokja-ssi's identity?"
"…Did you hear something earlier?"
"A little bit . "
I thought she wouldn't hear it because we were quite far away . Unfortunately, she heard something . Jung Heewon was closer than Lee Jihye and no human-to-human filtering is possible…
Lee Gilyoung let out a loud snoring noise . I decided to be half honest .
"I know part of the future . "
"Really?"
"Yes . "
Jung Heewon thought about something for a while . She seemed to be wondering if my words were true or not . Then Jung Heewon seemed to have decided as she bit her lips .
"Do Yoo Sangah and Lee Hyunsung know?"
"They don't know yet . "
I answered in earnest and Jung Heewon stepped away from me with Lee Gilyoung .
"…Surely you aren't going to kill me?"
'Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"Normally, a development like 'You know too much about me' will occur…"
3
Where did this normal development come from? Somehow I seemed to be a bad person .
"I don't know what the normal development is but I would've already killed Heewon-ssi if I wanted to . "
"Actually, that is a bit weird . "
"…I don't have bad thoughts . It is actually the opposite . "
"The opposite?"
I looked into Jung Heewon's eyes and said .
"The future scenarios will be more dangerous . You might almost die many times and might lose preciouse things .
"…So?"
"So…"
I looked into Jung Heewon's increasingly nervous eyes and said .
"Please stay with me from now on . "
"…What do you mean?"
"It means to be my companion . "
It was time to make my people . 'Trustworthy people' who wouldn't easily betray me .
Jung Heewon, who I helped awaken and could read her mind, was the most suitable talent . Jung Heewon looked blank for a moment .
"Dokja-ssi didn't consider me a companion before?"
"It is actually the opposite . I'm not the one who doesn't think of you as a companion . "
Jung Heewon's eyes shook .
I deliberately took a step back .
"If you don't want to be companions, think of it as a deal . I need Heewon's strength and my information will be helpful to Heewon-ssi . It is give and take . The important thing is that our relationship won't change in the future . "
"It is a bit abrupt… Do I have to answer now?"
"No . "
For a person like Jung Heewon, a leisurely approach was better than a hasty and emotional one . In fact, Jung Heewon's expression wasn't bad .
[The character 'Jung Heewon' is relieved at your honesty . ]
[The character 'Jung Heewon' is seriously thinking about your proposal . ]
Maybe it wouldn't be long . I had a big influence on Jung Heewon's awakening event and my presence would be deeply stamped in her subconscious .
Perhaps when this scenario was over, the second Sponsor Selection would begin . Then Jung Heewon would gain a sponsor . The real power of Jung Heewon would be shown from then on .
"Then can I ask you something?"
"Yes . "
"Do you know what I am doing in the future?"
I looked up . Wouldn't this be filtered?
"I also don't know . "
"…Huh?"
"There is no Jung Heewon in the future that I know . "
1
"What…"
"That's why this deal is really necessary for Heewon-ssi . "
Jung Heewon's eyes widened .
Jung Heewon wasn't in the original book . She was a variable that I raised directly . Her attribute was good enough and if she got a proper sponsor, she would play a key role in changing future scenarios . Especially if I fought against people with 'other variables' that I didn't know .
Then a loud noise was heard from downstairs .
"Think about it . Let's hurry . "
We descended to the platform where many people were putting pressure on a small group .
I understood the situation . The Landlord Alliance . They were still like this .
"Where did that bastard Kim Dokja go? Tell me quickly . "
Looking closer, I saw that the Landlord Alliance were harassing Lee Hyunsung . I deliberately walked towards them and spoke in a loud voice .
"Yoo Sangah-ssi, Lee Hyunsung-ssi . "
"You!"
An alliance member cried out as soon as I came down to the platform of Line 4 .
I saw a familiar landlord uncle . The evidence of the fierce battle remained on the bastard's body . At first glance, I could tell that his overall stats had risen sharply . I liked it .
"Gong Pildu . "
Gong Pildu used Armed Zone and eight turrets rose . The alliance members centred around Gong Pildu looked at me . They didn't know the person who saved them .
"This jerk…!"
The moment Gong Pildu was about to say something . There was an electric current in the air .
[The fourth main scenario will start in 5 minutes!]
Along with the system message, Dokkaebi Bihyung appeared .
[Hahaha, everyone! Have you been well?]
People's expressions stiffened at this nasty guy's face .
[It looks like you are all restless!]
"W-What is it now?"
[Of course I came because of the announcement for the fourth scenario . ]
"This is shit…"
[Now now, don't act like that . Don't you know I go after the first person who complains? The fourth main scenario has to do with the other stations . A fairly exciting story is waiting for you . I'm sure you will be satisfied!]
Everyone's complexions darkened as they heard about other stations .
Chungmuro alone was this bad . It was obvious how much trouble there would be if other stations were involved . Bihyung laughed .
[By the way, in order to proceed with this scenario, you have to perform another task first . Won't it be a mess if the number of people increases? Therefore, you need a presence to lead you . In other words, there must be a station representative!]
Representative . It was finally starting .
[From now on, we will play a 'skirmish . '] It could be called a warm-up game . The rules of the game… well, you will see!]
Bihyung smiled and disappeared, while a message window popped up in front of everyone .
[The sub scenario has arrived!]
+

Before the message window fully popped up, Gong Pildu was already running to the flag in the centre of the platform . He truly was like a ghost .
"Everybody get out of the way!"
Gong Pildu pushed people like a runaway locomotive and was in the lead to get the white flag . This couldn't happen . The moment his fingertips were about to reach the flag, I opened my mouth .
"Gong Pildu, down!"
4
[Under the terms of the contract, 'Command Rights' is activated!]
2
"Waaack!"
I stepped on the back of the collapsed Gong Pildu and took the white flag .
[You have pulled the white flag from the flagpole . ]
[You have become the 'representative' of Chungmuro . ]
[You are qualified to walk the 'King's Road . ']
