Chapter 180 (1/2)

Chapter 180

The last day of the National Competition coincided with a national holiday.

9 a.m.

In spite of the early hour, chicken stores all over the country started to operate. The chicken store owners mobilized their whole family to fry the chickens.

Ddrrrung! Ddrrrung!

The makers didn’t matter. The small neighbourhood chicken stores were flooded with orders for a while.

–Please bring me one chicken and three beers at 11 o’clock.

–I want to reserve two chickens for 11 o’clock. And I was busy during the last World Cup, so I will use all my coupons this time.

–One soju and beer. And one roasted chicken. Please! Before 11 o’clock!

-I want… What? You ran out of chicken and there’s only salad left? That’s okay! I will order from another store!

After a while.

At 11 a.m., the PvP tournament that the world had been waiting for finally opened. The chicken stores made more than 10 times their normal revenue during the National Competition! They shouted at the delivery drivers they hired specifically for this day.

“Go deliver!”

Buoong!

Every city in the country. The foreign tourists who came to South Korea for the National Competition saw a remarkable sight. In many places, the roads were filled with bikes!The delivery drivers’ bikes were equipped with a delivery crate and the chicken store sticker attached to them, making the foreigners stunned.

“Don’t Koreans always eat rice?”

“It seems to have changed to chicken…”

“Koreans have good physiques despite eating a lot of meat.”

And 11 o’clock.

『 The players are entering! 』

“Ohh! It has finally started!”

Family, friends or lovers. They all excitedly sat around a TV at their homes. Then the people who caused a hot topic over the past three days, Grid and Hurent appeared at the Lion’s Castle.

“I hope that Grid will win.”

“Honestly, considering the target processing, Grid seemed unlikely to win. But I hope he will do his best, even if he loses.”

“That’s right, so let’s cheer him on.”

“I don’t care about the experts’ analysis. I am expecting Grid, who has a legendary class, to win.”

Ding dong~!

“The chicken has come!”

“Oh, right at 11 o’clock. They have no sense.”

Houses with young families and mothers. Houses where friends gathered. Houses belonging to lovers.

『 Now I will announce the opening of the PvP match! It has started! 』

They ran to the porch as the commentator’s words were heard from the TV. They received the chicken from the delivery men then dropped their chicken at the ridiculous sight they were greeted with when they came back inside.

『 H-Hurent has been logged out! 』

“…?”

The showdown between the legendary class and the 8th ranked user. How many people predicted that the winner would be Grid? In addition, how many believed that Grid would log out Hurent in 30 seconds as he declared? However…

『 5 seconds…! 』

“…”

『 In only 5 seconds! Grid has logged out the winning candidate, Hurent! 』

The baffled commentator shouted belatedly, and hundreds of millions of people responded to the reality.

“Waaahhhhhhhh!”

The cheering Korean crowd and viewers!

“I can’t believe it…!”

The shocked foreign crowd and viewers! The world was in chaos.

[(Breaking) Grid won in 5 seconds.]

[Pagma’s Descendant! The 8th ranked user was logged out in 5 seconds!]

[Grid, he fulfilled his 30 second promise!]

[The United States has received a big impact.]

[Will Grid earn yet another gold medal for South Korea?]

[The 5 second logout legend!]

5 seconds! 5 seconds! 5 seconds! The breaking news continued to highlight the 5 seconds. The Internet real time search terms were dominated by ‘5 seconds,’ ‘Grid,’ ‘Grid’s victory,’ ‘Grid is a scam,’ ‘Shin Youngwoo,’ ‘Korean’s possible gold medal.’

The netizens were the same.

–G…God Grid.

–God Grid! Forgive us who mocked and condemned you a few seconds ago !ㅠ0ㅠ

– Wow, what is this? It isn’t a bug?

-The 8th ranked user was killed ㅡㅡ;;

–Crazy… I really got goosebumps.

–My family’s sign ㅇ0ㅇ

-ㅇ0ㅇ? What is that?

–The American community must be buzzing right now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

–The Chinese forums are filled with words of envy. ㅋㅋ

–The Japanese community is bombarded with conspiracy theories that this is a bug ;;

–So exciting! That Yankee who tore the Korean flag must be shedding tears of blood. ㅋㅋㅋ Praise God Grid.

-3.2 times 4 million won. Congratulations ㅠㅠ

–Actually, I bet 6 million won too ㅋㅋㅋ…ㅠㅠ on Hurent… That bastard.

–I bet 3 million won on Hurent ;; ah, my salary.

–Koreans should’ve cheered on a Korean… ^^ I bet 15 million won on God Grid… from now on, I will only have confidence in God Grid…

–You are a gambler ㅉㅉ

–I also bet 300,000 won so this is a jackpot ㅎㅎ I’ve made enough to last me three months. ㅎㅎㅎ

The amount of tens, hundreds, thousands, millions of won were exchanged. It might be a very big amount to somebody. But it could be chewing gum for somebody else. For example, the owner of a big company, a successful freelancer or a Satisfy ranker. They gambled hundreds of million or billions of won. And there were many people who lost.

“I shouldn’t have believed in those damn experts…!”

“Call my lawyer and prepare to sue.”

A few of the rich people suffered losses that couldn’t be ignored. On the other hand.

“Kuahahaha! Amazing! Amazing~!”

“Puhahaha! Grid! I love you!”

Someone’s misfortune was another person’s luck! The Tzedakah Guild, who’d already made billions of won from Satisfy, hit the jackpot. Those who believed in Grid’s victory bet not only their existing assets, but loans from financial institutions as well.

The dividend was 3.2 times what they invested, so they became instant billionaires. Tens of billions of won were gained at once. They could buy yachts, private airplanes, travel with beautiful women, and enjoy the life of a movie star!
